I'd suggest having a ride. It's all true but even tamed down with the mods I find it a much nicer, smother, more comfortable ride over 50kph. What remains of the surge is just noticable but she has some grunt, go easy on the throttle till you get the feel. That said, my last bike dirt bike was a klr, solid performer but boring by comparison : ) Now, will it be an R X or ZZZ?? : )
