Your review is dead on. Nice work on these reviews. The yellow crossfire also has a few minor problems that won't be found until you drive it for a while.

The air box will develop cracks rather quickly on rough trail rides over a short period time.

The stock filter is great for keeping the engine clean but not so good if you want a little more "get up & go".

The balljoints and tie rod ends are smaller and the tensile strength is weaker to protect the control arms. It's designed to break first so you lesson the damage. The heavier arms and balljoints on the R model are much better but you can't turn as quickly with the R.

One other problem is the rear breaks, With one person riding it's fine but down hills at max weight really eats up the pads if your running in a close group like a poker run or something.
