it takes some getting used to ride wise. it sits kinda tall! feels like its gonna tip over in turns. once you get used to it its sweet! soaks up the moguls like nobodys buisness! quick, responsive, powerful! a fun ride for sure!! the first time you ride it you feel like your on a kx500 dirt bike. once your used to it you wont go back!! rode the new fusion and the new fst classic both were very impressive in the ride department!
