| pity about the IRS. should have awesome performance though, proof will be in the riding I suppose, lotsa of people predicted the new Kwaka to be an awesome bike but the reviews havent been to flattering, shouldnt be to harsh, not everyone wants them for the track! |

I got one in my garage and i'm proud
the more you ride it the better it gets, todd was right its got heaps of grunt and performs well on the MX track, got me a second on the weekend overall. and i cant MX haha, it soaked up all the things i did wrong and was amazingly smooth through the rough stuff. Nearly got the holeshot every race (2nd and 3rd) against YFZ 480, honda w/HRC kit and yfz's with the lot and 60kg riders on them and im 120kg and old, mainly bought it for trails but the more i mx it the more i like it. Yeah im sure its got faults but doesnt any bike. in my opinion its freakin awesome

Yeah I rode one for a day last week. It has an awesome power output and definatly held it's own on the mx track.....but on the trails it is F@#^ING BRILLIANT!!!
Well that's my impression of it.
Cheers,
RIZ

Dave undersells himself.
When these things first came out we both talked about how great a trail ride they would surely have to be.
Dave got one, and fact is he looks a lot more comfortable on the MX track and is definitely faster.
He is old and buggered... So the bike must be good!

amazing how the irs seems to absorb all the nasty stuff |

| I rode the 525 on the polaris test ride day and the bike was absolutly amazing! Railed the corners heps good with out stepping sideways unless you wanted it to, kept momentum through rutts, and best of all handled the jumps better than my yfz |
