MRZ, I rode Wille's 600 up in Canada, and it has that instant snap feel from the Bikemann mod, with the clutch spring he installed. It feels like riding a motorcross bike. Instant snap, very fun in the trails. Top speed, well. I never got a chance to really run it on a lake, but it feels real quick for sure. I at the time had a 02 XC7 and it felt snappier than that did, and alot more fun to ride. But Willie will give you more info on it than me. I bought a new dragon 600 switchback this year, because I felt the gas mileage will be better for sure and the power is at the very least the same as my 02 XC7, and alot more fun to ride. I am doing the Bikemann mod myself along with the clutch spring kit. It is a cheap way to get alot of fun!
