[QUOTE="pace, post: 922287, member: 48746"] My '05 525EXC was delivered today! Just have an hour in the saddle so far, riding the jeep trails around my property. My initial impressions.. What's hot.. [list] [*]Componentry (Magura bars, Brembo calipers, Excel rims, etc.) [*]Torque. Brutal tire-shredding wads of torque. [*]Handling. It feels as nimble as my CR (bear in mind I haven't jumped the KTM yet). [*]E-start. Apparently I lack the leg to kick start the thing. [*]Ergos/layout. Immediately felt 'familiar'. [*]Rear suspension seems to track very well over hardpack. [*]Braking power. [*]The owners 'packet'. [/list] What's lukewarm.. [list] [*]The saddle. Holy hemorrhoids batman! [*]Top end. I bet it's at least a few horses shy of my ported CR and is sleepier than the CRFs I've ridden. Given the intended application, I shouldn't be too surprised. [*]The forks exhibit some harshness and ride low in the stroke. I haven't played with the clickers yet. [*]Brakes a little grabby. [*]The saddle. [/list] Nothing you probably didn't know, but just wanted to share. I'm feeling pretty good about the purchase right now. :) [/QUOTE]
