I ask this cause most of the time you slab it to get there.
But I do have two bike chocks in the back of my truck for
both bikes ... I can drive the truck there and head out to
whereever if I have to.
I like the price and the fact that it is ready off the floor once
the ink is on the dotted line.
Plus I like the dealer that I currently do business with ... 
Would you let your wife ride it? (that may carry some serious
weight on my end). |
I do commute on it sometimes, 30 miles each way, basically all slab. If its windy, its not great, but at 70 on a nice day I have no issues. I wouldn't want to go 60 each way, but I don't think most motards are comfortable for that.
I would let my wife ride it I guess, but she doesnt ride so its not an issue.
Regarding the power, only you know what you need. PM highsider for another opinion on it, and check out thumpertalk for the best information. One thing I will say is it does not have the power that a CRF 450 or a YZ would have stock. You can get good power with 2 main modifications, a full exhaust and a new FCR MX carb with a rejet. Really easy and relatively cheap. But its a 35 HP motorcycle stock.
