Ok go out and put some heavy weights in your clutches and bog a m8 down to 7300-7400 rpm and go try to beat a m7, You guys probably couldn't see past the part of the 2010 getting beat by anything and quite paying attention. DID YOU READ THE FULL POST
The point is most of the 2010 demos are set up sleds and what you buy off the show room floor wont touch most of them, I have ridden demo sleds that kicked the pis$ out of the previous year same sled stock to stock, 05 m7 to 06 demo m7 and the 05 was the best running m7 I had ridden all year, when the 06 actually came out it ran right with the 05 maybe a little better here and there. Oh and the 05 had a A 20 in hillclimb position and the 06 had one in powder position and I beat the 05 off the line so hard the guy on the 05 gave up before I could hit the break. and I didn't feel that kind of pull from a sled until I bought my 07 m1000. I wish I had that demo sled to this day.
These 2010's where obviously not set up yet!!!
There will be a lot of people that have to do some messing around to get the goody out of the 2010's.
I'm not saying they won't be better sled, I think they will be personally, but I don't leave anything alone. I would love it if someone would bring one out and beat my modded 09 m1000 so I can justify buying one, would sure like the weight drop and if you want the best 800 then I would buy one.
The demos are not factory production sleds yet and there will be some changes before its a 100% official.
I just wish AC would sell what they advertise, I hope this year is different.
