Let me start by saying this may be the last dirt bike i will own until Kawasaki updates it. Then I will not think twice before purchasing the updating one. And they may take a while. Funny thing is, I don't know what to upgrade on it. The power is amazing, even down-low. I have only had one instance of trouble when I rode at Gorman. I was on the back-bone trail which was onyl intermediate. The First rather steep hill required a bit more torque than my KDX could put out. The steepness wasnt the problem, it was the very, very, very sandy conditions, I mean "dunes" sandy. Other than that one hill, I am confidant enough to climb nearly any hill at Gorman. On hard-packed dirt, I would choose this bike over any 250. I believe it is perfect if you dont wan't a 250, and a 125 just doesn't do it for you. The suspension is, in my opinion, the greatest part of this bike. I go off 6 and 7 foot high flat-land jumps and land like i just rode off of a sidewalk. This is easily my most preferred dirt bike of the three that I own. The others being a KLR 250 and a Katana 600
