ZM,
sorry but I have not even sat my fat arse on the bike yet, much less rode one. I am buying based on the threads I have read here. I just figure it has to be better than my cj750. I can tell you I can get the front wheel up on my old XR650 in the USA and it is tall and top heavy with large desert fuel tank and desert night lights and although I have never been a road racer it handled the winding switchback mountain roads of Baja just fine. I will let the experts give you facts on the the JH600. I figure it is worth a shot. Worst case, you have some fun for not a lot of money.
