A while back there was a post by go-ride (i think) comparing dhr to v10 to el cuervo. Search it out. I know you say 05, but reading about 04 bikes may help you in your decision.Orfen said:pleze, can you guys stick with the original subject?
Is it a love and hate relationship with the way the rear suspension works on the V10!! From what Ive read and heard, most - if not all - the little nit picky (call them nit picky since overall my V10 was awesome) beefs I had with mine has been addressed. Lower CG, Shorter Wheel base, steeper head angle and lighter.El Jefe said:

Are you going to Durango? Tahoe? I'll for sure be at one, maybe both. If you're there when I'm there, feel free to jump on mine.Acadian said:
Lately I barely have the luxury to leave work at a respectable time to go homeEl Jefe said:
so considering my work schedule for the next few weeks Durango is out of the question. When will you be in Tahoe?
That's last year's V10. The new model is nothing like it. I had last year's V10 and I now have the new V10. Night and day difference.Bacardi said:

keep me posted!El Jefe said:
Will do.Acadian said:
Agreed. On a side note - Progressive changed the tuning for the 5th Element for the '05 V10's to allow the rider to set-up that more "lively" feel. I've been on the '05 shock for about 2 months and can really tell a difference between it and the '04 Progressive (I'm on a late model '04). The V10 still stays glued to the ground, but I'm able boost a little easier and pump a bit in the corners. If I had to give you a better sense on how "lively" the rear of the bike is, I would say my '04 with the '05 shock lies somewhere in between the bike with the '04 shock and a Turner.El Jefe said:
I never went by the book on tuning anyway. If you liked the old style, you'll love your new one.Wallstreetbiker said:Agreed.

As Acadian said above, the '05 really corrects the things that the '04 could be critized for (little heavy, long/slack and high bottom bracket). Still by far the best bike I've ever owned, but can't wait for my '05
Can I take you up on that? I don't break wheels like Acadian does.El Jefe said:
Sure.kidwoo said:
but you break foot like me...kidwoo said:
Thanks man. But you can't keep my turner after you get a run or two on it......I'm just warning you.El Jefe said:
I've ridden Sgt Brown's Turner with the PUSH resorvoir shock and full team build. If that didn't sway me, I doubt yours will.kidwoo said:Thanks man. But you can't keep my turner after you get a run or two on it......I'm just warning you.

neaky: My fork doesn't let the wheel go underneath the downtube on straight hits. Nah seriously, I'll be looking foreward to meeting you that weekend. I'll be slow and cautious until I'm sure my foot doesn't fall off.
