Have not ridden this all year stepped into it this weekend and ripped it. So stable, nose stiff, no wash out, no plate needed. Not for the faint of heart but damn did I have a good time. If you ride hard and have the means to try one don't pass it up. Going hard i can only ride it 3-4 hrs at time, but every minute is priceless.. Guy I was riding w/ comment "i think you would of had to jump out of a plane to go any faster!!" Not to mention its an 09 model cant read the spec any more they are carved/worn off.
