| Nate, I own one. It is a seriously hi powered machine but down at low rpm's it is a baby to drive. It sounds to me like as if you have enough experience to handle it. Dirt riding prepares you a lot better than street riding for the kind of stuff a bike can throw at you. Street riding is more like, to develop your common sense. By the way, this is a big heavy machine but don't think that it can't stick in the twisties. The nice thing about this bike is that it handles in the turns and if ever a straight comes up, there ain't nothing you can't catch!

| | Nate, I have ridden a couple of dirt bikes in my time and if you have been riding them for 10 years you should be able to handle this baby without issue. Even if you feel a little nervous with the impending torque when you squeeze the throttle, this baby will launch in second gear without any hesitation (and it is safe until you get used to it). I have had my 14 for a week and she handles like a dream I think that you will be just fine. Hey if your in Michigan you can come over and ride mine first. Aaron |
