Well, that was fun. I went out today and ran in my husky at Kawerau motox track. Quite a sandy/pumice track. The bike was a little tight at first but loosened up after 40-50 kms, about 15 laps. This is a tall bike, but doesnt feel it once rolling, suspension feels firm, which is good for the larger rider like me!!!, and prefers being ridden hard. The engine is kinder like a healthy 125cc 2 stroke, in that it likes being revved, there is some bottom end but no real snap until that clutch is fanned then it really comes alive. Good fun. Spent a couple of hours on it, next ride out is saturday at a trail ride at Mimiha road. Gonna try and set the suspension up for my riding style, should be a good learning curve. Needless to say it is a massive step up from my CRF230, even though it has been modified a bit. I am going to have to modify my riding style a little I think, to do it justice. Overall a good buy, but then I would say that as I have bought it now!!!
