had been riding the smoker for awhile now, and i had the honour to have a go on the 12' 350sxf static feel, can feel the weight when pushing it start is a no brainer, 1 button and it lit up, exhaust note is from the beautiful acrapovic muffler once it is on the move, can barely feel the the weight even when throttle is shut, engine braking is minimal, but still not as free wheeling like the smoker the "inertia" force from braking is not as strong as my previous 450sx and power is not as strong as the 450 either however, the engine is pretty easy to manage with lower low end torque than the 450, it is still able to carry with butt around without screaming the bike this is a mid-top engine, once the rpm hit mid range, u start to feel u are flying alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way up to the top end with like endless power band, u can just wring the engine like forever, be4 it needs another gear it takes a pretty experience rider to maximise this kinda of power, and the owner Vincent is one of them. to be able to go fast on this bike, u need to maintain the power from mid onward, be it on the straight or in a tight hair pin bend. u wouldn't feel the scary pulling power like the 450 machine but trust me, it brings u from corner a to corner b faster than u think. just my 2 cents of review.  Vincent, when can i ride it again?
