2014 Sherco XRide290

[Wingboy]

Had a chance to mess around with this machine today.Dualsports (not sure if it's blue plate stuff) are never very good at either target,but this one is a ton of fun.It has the grunt down low that the person looking for a "trail" bike really needs.But it will pull hard if you let the motor spin up.What really impressed me is the weight.At 190lbs the XRide is really easy to throw into tight turns and doesn't get all shook up when you use a bunch of the suspension.
Anyone else have any experience with these?

I tried the Sherco 300 enduro they had at the Scorra Fun Day last year. Loved it. Engine was smooth as ice and had tons of power. If I wasn't so worried about parts availability, I'd consider one.
