Thanks guys ..... I took out the 05' today, for about 10-12 miles. I like the height, reminds me of riding my old RM 250. And maybe I'm getting old, but the riding position is comfortable as heck. I am finding that riding posture is quickly becoming a top priority. I'm not looking at it for real dirt riding, just down an old logging trail or grass path once in a while here in the Northeast. It may take me a few miles to get used to the top heavy feeling I sensed when winding left to right to left through the twisties. It seems that for the money this is a nice bike and it was fun to test ride.
