That  bike has some major wow factor.  I've had my eye on it since it came out.  The price is prohibitive for me.  I've had the KX in ruts and washes here in Okla. that the foot pegs hung up on both sides.  That boxer motor would keep it out of a lot of places the KX can go.  If you have money and like raw horse power that's the bike.

My buddy Art runs motorcycle tours all over south of the boarder. He is a Big boy and I know he can handle this beast. The best part is I get a ride on it without spending the $$$! :-D :-D

Well Justin, Dave and I went out riding yesterday and my friend Art brought his new beast out and gave us all a turn on it! Here are a few pic's and I will post some short video clips later.

It sits tall and the power is simply amazing, Dave went buy us at 80 plus with the rear tire burning with no end in sight!

Yikes,
Who broke off the other side of the swingarm? Where does the chain lube go, What are those things in front of your feet, foot guards? Seriously though, that is a some serious engineering.
