Hot as is powerful & quick, so yes "fast & sporty". A thrilling fun machine with power on tap that can skip the mountain extraction.


The K-MAX did come to mind as payload to weight is far higher than any of the others, but it's purpose & appearance suggests that it's not agile & might have balancing a golf ball on a broomstick type handling.
