I finally had a chance to give my new bike a shake down today and all I can say is WOW! I can't believe the difference between it and my other bike. I now have suspension and power galore. I am still breaking it in, so can't go over the 5500 rpm level yet and it was still loads of fun. It is quite a diferent machine than my suzuki and judging by the way it threw me over the handlebars I say the turning radius is a little bit bigger than the DRZ and the brakes work exceptionally well. I tried some hill climbing and it didn't disappoint, just powered up that hill with every indication if I wanted faster/more it have it to give. Now I'll go tweak it a bit ... put on a front fender brace and raise the handlebars to my liking and this'll be my dream bike.
Kidding!!! Can't wait to get out & ride with you with me on the 525; I'm tired ofthrowing aroundmy 950 trying to keep up with you hooligan's.
