Well to cut to the chase....the bike is absoutely AWSOME!!! My son described it as "the best bike by far he has ever ridden". (His other rides are a 08 SX450 and a 08 SX505 with full Ohlins) He also said the following: The easiest to go fast on. Best turning bike. Increadible power/tq for a 250F with a very smooth delivery. Brakes and clutch couldn't be smoother. Gear changes and spacing are spot on. It's a one (1) kick starting bike. The light weight and perfect handling allow you to just choose any line you want or make your own with total confidence. He also said "it's like somesone hand built him a bike and nailed evry single part of it". I think I am happier than him because I got it for him without even asking him what he thought about the bike. He was totally surprised when I told him it was for him and I must say I was a little surprised at just how much he likes the bike. Hey Husqvarna...you hit a long home run with this bike, thanks. Oh, I put about ten laps on it and agree with every thing he had to say and if anybody gets one and doesn't like it I'll trade you my like new 09 TXC510 and some cash for it.
