I bought one 3mnths ago.no test ride only saw it in the catalogue, was given a quote on it, found a better price, bought one.just did my first service. Have given this bike a thorough work over, from mud/water( very deep) to sand/rock/coal/gravel, on both flat and hilly terrain. this bike, excells in the hilly/tight tracks, with grunt on tap at all times, for walking up long streep inclines and lodting the nose to clear logs with no probs at all
