		I have owned one of these and the very identical 650 since mid Aug of 08. I am 6-1 and in the 190lb range. These bikes, for the money is some what lame. No ajustable forks? pipes hang too low (for serious off road), I dented the pipes on the 650 already. None ajustable rear brake pedal. There are a <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">few things more i could warm people of, but I wont waste all this space. Bottom line is, for the money, it should be more or a better motorcycle. Good items are, the 650 in comfortable, the 800 however is not, not for me. The 650 is even more of a road bike. Both however could be more off road friendly. They are both smooth running bikes. How relyable there are is yet to be seen. Many bolt on items are out there, at a hefty price of course. In my opinoin, with a 10 being great, i`d give the 650 a 7 for the road and a 3 for off road. I would rate the 800 in the 5 range on road and for off raod it gets a 7.</span>

		While it's a bit large for gnarly single track, it's quite capable off road and yet can still tick off miles on the pavement quite well.<br />
<br />
It has plenty of power, corners and handles quite well and most importantly, it's an absolute BLAST to ride!
