I was one of those guys who said the gen 1 was fugly when I saw it at the Edmonton show. Honestly at the time we didn't give it a whole lot of attention but when you look at where these guys are at now you can see they've been hard at it. IMO it makes the TS look primitive.
We started a ride with Kevin last season in Sicy but the group was way too big and we got split up so I didn't get a chance to ride the kit which is a drag, hopefully this season. When we did get a hold of Kevin on the radios they were on their way back out as one of the kits had had a suspension failure. One thing for sure is they did ride them until they broke them and didn't try to cover up the failure but instead were right up front in saying this or that piece failed and needs to be improved.
Bolting that to my CR500 will be all I need, forget about turbos and all that crap, been there done that. Simple, light, reliable and efficient. I'd rather sink some money into a great kit than have a brand new bike every year, hell my bike is 23 years old, LOL.
Gonna be a tough act to follow.
