Hello! The video is great, congratulations! I want to buy a trail bike, but at first I had ruled out yours due to short suspension travel and the bike's ground clearance, but I see that this is not a problem for you...
Well, every bike has its limitations. Sometimes you just have to work around them. This one had a very good bashplate, which I smashed into very often. However, if you are good at picking you lines, it doesn't have to become an issue. Benefit too is that reaching the ground is easier, so less likely too drop the bike in low speed situations. I should say I have now upgraded to the F800GS, because of the suspension. Though, it has significantly upgraded suspension over the standard version. I tend to hit less rocks, but it's a lot more difficult to reach the ground which causes some low speed drops. I do also very much like the ability too ride 600+ miles of highway on a single day. Probably wouldn't be able to do that on a traily.
