You'd be best off finding one that hasn't had much use, I hear the one on farkin is rarely used

ok, Ironhorse are ridden by the best man in the biz, sammy hill. yakuza is still ironhorse. The best norco have is Ben Boyko, he rides slopestyle. By the fact you are posting in the downhill section I believe you want something ridden by a downhiller, not a jibbing madman. Yakuza pwns atomik.

That is possibly the worst logic I have come accross... ever

Yeah. GravityGuru, I don't do logic very good. I would pick the yakuza anyway.

I've seen a fair few yakuza with cracked swingarms, Personally I think the atomik is better value for money and will last you longer.

the atomik has heaps better spec then the yakuze cheaper too
boxxers> super ts
dhx 3> vanilla
sun single tracks> wtb speed disc
juicy threes> hayes nines
see i rest my point though ive heard the yakuza has better geo to each their own thoug

your choice.... but put some better forks on. depends on the price..... at a shop near me you can get a yakuza for 2400... that would be enough room for upgrades,

just see if you can have a bit of a test ride. see what one YOU like
its up too you but id say go anything but the yakuza. my mate just recently snaped his rear swing arm on his. and he has had many problems with it. id say to get a norco i havent had any problems with my A-line.
