Best machine I ever owned. Will do everything you like from 4000 mile round Europe trips on the Autobahns to green lanes, deserts and snow. Cheap to run (60 mpg, group 9 insurance, bits from Motorworks/motobins). Only downside is limitations of 650cc´s for two up use, but this is a real world bike not a weekend only crotch rocket. See the Chaingang site for details.
