Gary had the mapping on this bike set for race mode so you would have the hit you wanted right off the bottom. The ride was sweet. I took it out around the hills by camp and had a great time on this bike. The motor jumped to life quick and powered through the gears smooth and effortless. There is a little mountain behind where we camped and it had a few different options to go up. Either smooth where you could drive your Honda Civic up or a nice single track littered with rocks that took some work to manage. I took the 250 up the rock littered single track to see how the torque was on this bike. I was quite impressed with how this bike would creep along up the hill. The rekluse did make it easier as you did not have to worry about doing any clutch work. Just aim it and go. The levers were adjusted a little high for me, but since I was just demoing this on a short ride, I did nit mess with them. Suspension was great, nice and plush, but aggressive to soak up bigger hits that I was throwing at it. Going down hills in a rock fested garden was super easy, you could stand up and ride this bike down, picking your lanes with easy. Super light feel and stable. I could have fun on this bike all day.
