Took the KX5 out Saturday with a buddy and his Gas Gas 250. I asked about trail type to make sure it was more open before we left so I could decide which bike to take. First part was tight twisty single track. Not what we talked about. Not fun. KX5 was in a bad mood (always) but was running sweet. Smacked my foot in the first five minutes, tried to crash me too. Bad KX5! Bad KX5! Guy I'm riding with is 6'3" with long legs and a better rider then I am. Offers to trade me bikes to try it. Ended up that way for the day. I could ride more relaxed on the 250 though he had to wait for me more then once! He also had a big grin every time we stopped, but admitted the KX5 was a handful. His best comment of the day? "It sounds angry just idling!" Said he never really opened it up...
