The irs takes a bit to get used to. Jumping is not bad at all, but going over whoops, the rear end likes to kick back up on you. Sliding is a whole new animal cause the outside tire grabs . I've only lost to a highly modified yfz450. As a whole I'd rate it an 8 out of 10. Flying on the trails takes a little body english but its a blast! Good deals on them are getting hard to find. Honda stop making them after the
'09 model. I highly recommend that you get one if your in the market for a 700.
