I picked mine up this past week. Rode it around for about 20 mins -- was actually a little disapointed.
NO bottom end. Felt like I was "towing something".
Then the following day I did the cherry bomb/air box/pea shooter.
Took it out for my first ride -- WOW. There it is - Can't wait for the full Pipe.
Since I don't have my nerfs yet AND I need to run the "break in", I went to my favorite practice track and I TRIED to take it easy. It is a tight track - winding back and forth -- A couple of small doubles, several small tables and a 40' table and 65' table with short set-ups.
Well... I was quite impressed. After a couple of slow warm ups -- I was able to clear the 65' using 1/2 to 3/4
thottle -- I said I TRIED to take it easy.
Shocks are stiff -- but should loosen up and from what I see the re-builds are coming along.
Very happy with my decision to move from my Honda to the Suzuki. This will be one BAD machine with very little tweaking.

Yeah thats why i hate the magazines, they never tested the ltr with out the pea shooter and airlid. Did u ever try the quad without the baffle and airlid but no Cherry bomb? Then u could've seen how much the quad changes with free mods then see the change with the CB.

Hey DJ glad to see I was able to help persuade you into the Suzuki. I'm sure that you'll absolutely love the bike more and more with seat time. Hopefully it's what you expected. The shocks are stiff at first, but with some test and tuning on the track and time they come right along.

ND...yep -- you are the one that pushed me over the edge. I have only ridden it once -- BUT, I absolutely love it. My nerfs, bumper, etc. just showed up today. You also talked me into the flexx bars -- ordered some of those from FUEL -- they will be here tomorrow. Then just waiting on a pipe.

Thanks Bro

When it comes to the bars there are a few different elasitors to choose from for how much you want the bars to flex. The yellow I think was the best for me, so maybe you'll want to try starting there. Also they area feel alot softer than an anti-vibe stem, and a little wierd at first, but once you get used to them giving they will make a believer out of ya. Thanks man

I'll have some race pics to post up here after next weekend.
