That would have been back when I was growing up down in the hills. Miles and miles of dirt roads, now all paved. Bummer.

550lbs is barely noticeable as long as you keep your feet on the pegs

wow mr. wibbens,
that is a LOT of weight!!
still nimble? no WAY i could handle that machine. i have laid down my 200/220's (i have 5 or 6) perhaps... 5 out of the last 5 rides!!!
but that is nasty nebraska bugeater trails. i call it urban-cross (i live in the *big city*, if you dare call it that) and ramp off of car tires and abandoned dressers and such. if lucky, a stolen car.
that is a BIG bike for the super tight trails i ride!
how is the power to weight ratio? hits hard??

Now that's a sight. Usually see those bikes shining new and parked outside Starbucks.
Respect on riding heavy off the tarmac.
Had my Varadero 1000 off the beaten track the other day. The old KDX never felt so light afterwards.

The other day I was riding down a slimy clay, rutted out jeep road...
Before I knew what happ'd the bike was laying on it's right side
Me? I was still on the pegs! Luckily never had time to put a foot down
