I've seen two ETSX's outside the showroom floor. The first was on a group ride, a friend of mine who works for a RM dealer demo'd one. He liked it.
About a week later I saw another one up in whistler, On "comfortably numb", which is the big epic XC trail up there. It was broken behind the shock, on the seat tube. second ride, according to the owner. He was on foot, about 2500v' and 10-12 miles from the nearest road. He said he was JRA when it broke. Not good!
