I have ridden X-Pulse's a few times, and I know it has f*kkol power, but what bothered me the most was that I could not hear anything while riding.... I ride on sound-feedback from the bike alot, so having no sound from that xorst en engine was a bit unnerving... but I guess you can get used to it.

But, it is super easy to ride and super light to pick-up and super cheap to buy and maintain, so bang for your buck is what comes to mind. I do not plan on riding it for miles and miles, just for short technical day trips and maybe the odd "technical tour-type trip" where the going will be slow in any case.... think Lesotho / Swaziland / Ben10 etc....

I will keep the Big Girl for longer trips and when I want to ride in anger! :cool:
