Oh that bike is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

Mine is bone stock aside from an exhaust system (which I won on the pulpmx show as "chalmers" haha) so it needed a silencer t9o go with it. The exhaust, v-force, and springs front/rear and to accomidate my size (tall seat, lowered pegs, and bar risers).....other than that she is as stock as it gets which is amazingly well done and given how good the bike is out of the crate I am more than pleased with its performance, doesnt need anything else (possibly a revalve at some point but with the springs and messing with the oil level I can live with the stock suspension).

IMO stock bikes (if they dont have a glaring flaw in design) always perform at their best, all the R&D put into the bike gives it a perfect harmonnic balance, once things get added to a bike where critical parts play onto the physics of the chassis you cant ever recreate the stock feel with aftermarket parts..... Ive tried it all regarding add on parts clamps etc..... the vikes seemed to get progressively worse.....of course this is my opinion but I notice even the smallest of things (chanes)

Anyone that hasnt ridden one of these last generation RM's you are cheating yourself out of having the pleaseure to ride one of the best all around dirtbikes EVER produced.
Really well said, regarding the reasons why a bike should be kept stock.

I wish I knew how to post a pic.

My bikes. With the economy tanked I'm saving up for the next bike, probably a KTM 500.







That Berg 650 was the fastest dirtbike I have ever ridden. Handled like crap but hauled a$$.
