[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 303670, member: 16276"] The 640 is no treat on road trips - lots of vibration compared to other factory DS bikes. The 520 will not self destruct on pavement, but the seat will feel like its got an intimate relationship with your kidneys after about 10 miles. True 50/50, with the 50 dirt being 4 wheeler trails and forest roads? 640. Mainly dirt with some real single track and fantiasies about road trips? 520. A friend took his RFS 400 on a 6 day/600 mile trip with me in the Big Bend area of Texas and Copper Canyon in Mexico. We rode about 20% pavement, 5% desert single track, and 75% dirt road (everything from groomed park roads to the NASTIEST jeep roads). He changed the oil at 250 miles. The RFS performed flawlessly on this trip and is still a fantastic woods weapon to boot. I had a 400 EXC LC4. '95 vintage and the lightest they made of this type of bike. Awesome rally-inspired chassis capable of being ridden in the tight stuff. The extra bulk of the current breed of the RXC is quite a detriment to its offroad prowess. Hope this helps, [/QUOTE]
