[QUOTE="Spencer, post: 443706, member: 33546"] Lew, I just got off the initial ride of my wifes new bike. The DRZ 125/L (Which as we all know is a yellow KLX and vice versa) and was pretty impressed. We spent alot of time looking for something that had enough power to be fun but not enough to get in trouble and that was fairly large but allowed her to get both feet flat on the ground. Keep in mind that she is a next to zero experience rider and I've always felt that being able to touch the ground is paramount in enjoying the experience for new riders. I've only put about an hour on it but I'll give you my impression so far. It's got decent power and torque as far as this style bike goes, I felt it loosen up considerably in the short time I rode it and had to adjust the idle several times as it loosened up. I'm 6 foot 220 pounds and was able to keep it moving fairly well. In the places where you dont have enough power, you have the lowest first gear I've ever witnessed. I mean low, like walk behind it and pull stumps low. It will probably allow a rider to grunt it up some fairly impressive hills. The suspension is really soft but pretty much any bike this size will be. My only regret thus far is the fact that I didn't wait for a KLX so it matched my KDX, but the wife wanted it NOW!!! I also got a kick out of reliving my old dirttrack days as it was a blast to lay sideways in the corners without fear of a huge burst of horsepower biting me. It's also nice to note that with the recent interst in the small bikes/big guys racing thing that lots of aftermarket hop ups are already available and more are sure to come. Hmmmmmmmm maybe we need two? [/QUOTE]
