Sweet, yeah they turn so nicely. I've ridden my pals a load and it handles really similarly to the RM I used to have, just heavier and with four stroke, tractor power. They're a lot more playful than my Hondas. I have one of those massive Acerbis 7 gallon tanks on my XR and while the weighting is good, they make the bike a bit wide and unwieldy. Not a problem on fire road stuff but irritates me when you're trying to pick a line on single track. Can't get your leg out down the fork leg easily either. I think the 4-5 gallon ones are the sweet spot.
