[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1391093, member: 8712"] ^ And to spin pants' reasoning a complete 180, some of the bikes you're looking at, especially the 'Stroms, can be had used and nicely set-up for bargain prices. It might not hurt too much $$-wise, if at all, to pick one up and try it for a bit, even if it's not exactly what you want to see if it's doing what you're after. Don't forget to take into account the different suspensions (and brakes and electronics) between the models you're considering. It seems like there's some worth-while differences there and might be just as important to consider as HP. FWIW, I have a '12 Wee and have done several hours of slab at a time. There's one or two things I wish it did better but can't say I ever felt it was under-powered for my needs. [/QUOTE]
