Maybe I'm just confused.
Jeannie - just go out and buy and Element - you won't be disappointed. And your as-yet-unnamed pink & green bike will love it, too.

While we're on Elements...another question.
Do any of you feel that the limited clearance keeps you from roads you would otherwise like to travel...like you might if you had a higher-clearance truck?
Anyone out there go from camping and tame off-roading in a pickup with canopy, to the Element? Comments?
I think I really want an Element for all that if offers...hauling the bike in the back, sleeping inside with access to ignition, etc, and better security.
But, I worry a little about wanting to go on roads that are a little more rutted or rough...not wild...just tame off-roading toward better a little more remote campsites, etc."The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury

I took mine on the Buffalo National River on the gravel bank (deep, always shifting, hard to walk on gravel). The AWD kicked in nicely and did its job.
I even pulled my husband's F150 out of the gravel. I told him not to drive down there without 4WD!
Overall I'm very pleased with its performance, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive down almost any road. But, do understand that I live in a place where I have a choice whether to drive down a road or not. I don't have to worry about deep snow ruts or anything like that.
