Just wanted to take the time to sing the praises of this " little" bike.
I rode the Clanton Enduro this weekend and it was quite a ride. Clanton is a course of ~ 50 miles of tight and twisty single track that goes UP and DOWN, over and over. Just for fun, it'll twist left and right on the way UP and on the way DOWN, and to make it more enjoyable there are roots and ruts everywhere.
It has been raining for a few weeks here so at the bottom of just about every twisted, rooty, rutted descent was a mud bog.
The kawi performed flawlessly. What a joy to ride! It would pull up those ruts from a dead stop, was light enough to pull out of any mud hole, had the torque to pull through the bottom of the hill to get a good attack on it.
I didn't do as well as the bike, though. Left on row 62, got to the gas at row 116, houred out somewhere after that, and had the clean up riders catch me at 10 miles from the end!! What a blast!. Took ~ 5 hours to go 46 miles. I am sore today!
