Seen a demo at a grass track event, agree with ozzy, great in a straight line but need an area to turn at speed.

yep,, and I agree too. dead set scarry fast in a straight line but takes alot of effort and practice to turn them. I only way 71 kg so I wreckon they would be suited more for a heavier person, imagine an ag bike with a sports engine, and im not so keen on the foot well + theres bugger all aftermarket parts. to exy for what they are I think. The 4 fifty would be a better machine..

my 2cents worth.

i saw one of those in actions and all i could say is WOW, an old guy maybe 56 was riding that thing, and he was wheelieng that thing like it was a a 450.
Definately buy one, all ive heard is good feedback from them, and from what ozzy said about they handle like a boat around a corner, what else do you expect, its not a sports bike like a yfz, its a sports utility bike

Now your talking, by far the best 700 auto on the market, riden Killasarkis best, it was more agile and predictable in cornering and plenty of power to boot....+ you can get after market parts, K&N air box, nerfs, jet kit, pipes, stering widening kits by far a better choice...
