In spykers context, its valid.
Choose your words a bit more carefully then.
If he wants to pose, get the SE, if he wants to improve his riding and make his ability known, get a WR450.
:roll: And why could his riding not improve riding a SE? It is all about application, and having the right tools. The SE is not the right bike for tight, technical slow stuff. But for following trails, riding dirt roads, riding tar roads, commuting, and if you insist, for posing, it will knock the shocks off the WR450. The SE is damn fine all-round machine. It would make a good replacement for his current bike. But if he wants to do enduros, nope. Not the right choice.
Enduros show the real ability, no posing will get you through.
True. You need to be able to ride to get through an enduro. Posing will just leave you in the pits.
