"Just the looks of this new thing
are enough to scare the squids right off
the course.
"The seat's chopped off.
The rear fender's a mile up in
the air And the shocks are
gas-filled, laid-down, and so
far forward they're almost
out of sight.
/
"What it feels like is a spring,
all wound up tight, ready to explode
if you so much as jiggle it
"So I jiggled it.
"WAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEE!
“Oh sure, Suzuki told me that their
new porting would give it a lot of snap
But this was ridiculous. We came out
of the hole so fast, I just barely hung on.
“And then we hit the whoops.
"At least, they looked like whoops.
The only thing was, the wheels didn't
seem to know it. They clung to the
little ones like a snake going over
rocks. No matter how high the frame
went, the wheels hung right in there,
spitting out power.
“And over the big ones, they didn't
fishtail once. We went through those
whoops on a line so straight you could
hang clothes on it.
"Man, that's handling!
“Up came the first turn. A big hairy
sweeper with a super-high berm.
"I tapped the gears, and slammed
into it hard. Magic. Right away, it
seemed to seek out and lock into the
right line all by itself
"Coming out, I cranked it on, and
WAAAAAAEEEEEE, again. We shot
out of that thing like a sling shot,
heading for the first jump.
“Surprise.
"We didn’t stay in the air nearly
as long as I thought we would, seeing
how fast we were going.
"And all daylong, I found the same
thing. The wheels on the RM like to
stay in the dirt where they can
push .. not in the air
where they can spin.
"So if you’re after a
bike for show, this isn't
it. This one’s for win.
"And my lap time proved it.
“What's its secret?
"Handling. It handles like a
dream. You don't have to fight it or
muscle it or make corrections all the
time for goofs.
"You just flow over that course
like syrup flows over pancakes.
“Competition, you're in big
trouble."
