I only trail mine, stock suspension. I weigh over 200 and the hard fast bumps are trouble. If you ride on decent groomed trails, you should have no problem. Just hang on. Other than that, know where you gas stations are and enjoy. Very reliable engines, no power-valves to worry about. My 750 has 24000kms(16k miles) on it and still runs very strong. Only problem when riding it I develop a condition I call permasmile.
