This will be my 4th season on this bike and I still love every second! | ||||||
| I´ve consistently put 5,000 miles per year on this bike and I´m hoping to do the same this summer. Unfortunately, the riding season here in Michigan is limited because of our roller coaster climate. After 3 years of ownership all I´ve had to replace is tires and there has only been basic maintenance performed-still no repairs. The listing here is slightly inaccurate-2006 was the first year for sequential fuel injection (injectors are timed with each cylinder rather than fired in groups of 2 similar to the waste spark concept), and it is equipped with a 6 speed gearbox. I ride through heavy city traffic and on the freeway going to and from work, then spend weekend afternoons tearing up 2 lane highway a few miles north of here. It doesn´t matter where we go ride, there is still no condition where the bike doesn´t perform flawlessly and it´s got more than enough power to touch the 140 mph mark in a relatively short distance. The upright riding position is hands down more comfortable than any other non-touring bike I´ve ridden and it allows me to take longer trips with some of the goldwing/harley riders from work. The sport chassis and suspension easily keeps up with other 600 series sport bikes also. |
