went up to eastern quebec this past weekend and was lucky to get in 270 miles.we had 3 attak gt's with zero miles.we all came off of 03 rx1's with over 10k.first impressions:
1) The rear suspension is unbelievable hitting woops or washboard bumps even small washouts were no big deal.hit a few sucker bumps expecting to compress my spine an inch or two and couldnt believe it sucked it up.
2) Throttle response is sick ,it takes getting use to
3) Engine braking seems heavier than rx1. mabey this will lessen in time.
4) Fuel milage seems on par with rx-1.went 140 miles on a topped off tank with more to go
5) Instrument cluster is great.i never realized how nice having a clock in the dash you can read is
6) You get alot of wind in the face,needs a taller shield.over all the sled is a 9 or a ten in stock form.the skis seemed ok but we wernt riding real hard during break-in.going from sitting to standing is seemless.
cant wait to ride it off of break-in!

Good post. The only bad thing is I hate to read about first ride impressions in mid January.
Hopefully the snow will stick around for the rest of the winter.
