My 525 was an awesome bike and did many things very well. As a street supermoto it was the best thing I could find to do the conversion to. 6 speed wide ratio tranny makes it a great highway tard, with a top speed of 98mph down the straight of Pueblo with the wheel size adjusted to the measured circumfrence of the 120/70 Oh by the way it is a great track bike w/ street gearing.

Now for the dirt it was arguably the best all around dirtbike I have ridden, unfortunately it is not the funnest. I am a 2 stroke nut and absolutely love the way my 300 rides. The 525 was a very close almost even ride but I stayed with the thrill, couldn't justify 2 dirts and racing this year. I will own another (with an aftermarket kick stand).
