I brought my bike home on Friday. I bolted some goodies on her and did the 15 min idle DaleEO recommended with a fan on her. Set the suspension to the Sport settings. What a high quality built bike. Amazing how far they have come since my last Berg, a 1997 FC 501. Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight!
My buddy TY, picked me up on Saturday morning and off to the track. After the first 15-20 min ride, back to the truck to let her cool down. So even riding very mellow, she has very nice smooth power. I felt a little cramped so I moved the bars as far forward as I could, I think the third position. I added 2 more clicks to the rebound on the shock.
Ty rides a 09 kx250f so it was good to compare this bike to a more traditional bike. Out for the next session. After about 10 min, Ty and I switched bikes. We both feel that this bike handels better than his 09 kx250f. It feels just as small and light as his 250f. He was amazed at how EASY it is to ride and how damn smooth and linear the power is. It turns better and tracks better while holding a tighter line. You can lay this bike over in a turn and accel out and it will not stand up. He has ridden a few current 450's and he feels that the smooth power delivery is better than any bike he has ridden. If you give more gas, Holy S**t 8O ,this bike rips. I haven't even installed the map switch yet. Even the suspension feels better. I am way more impressed with this bike than I had ever expected to be.
I was suprised how it feels as light as his bike. Of course not when you load it in the truck. But compared to my 9fiddy super enduro, she is light!!!! Now all the ride reports I have read, they are true. I AM A BERG FAN agian. BERG BABY!: H-berg
I want to thank Mark Donavan from Shoals Outdoor Sports for a great buying experience. I highly recommend them. :thumbup:
