It is easy not to see many new sleds in the northeast this year. I presently have added 700 miles to the odometer this year, had 1800 logged by this time last year. I have to say being a former poo faithful the 800 and 700 twins are an absolute POS. But if you look at all big cc two stroke twins you will witness poor reliability. Big bore,high rev twins do not last. They may run a few thousand miles but the kaboom is always inevitable. And yes the dragon is slow.check out Supertrax Kent Lesters pick for best in class 150 hp machine, Dragon "Blistering Fast", boy you can count on these advertising whores for the truth. WTF
