Good day. I made a few posts to your question but i did not see my answer on the site. I really have no warnings about this style bike as I too have the same one (blue one). I purchased it second hand last year and have put about 4-5000KMS on it. My friend is into repairs and he told me that Suzuki is one of the most reliable on the road. so far he is totally correct. In terms of performance, the bike is great. The guy i purchased it from had put Jardine pipes on the bike but i had them removed and the originals (which he gave me) put back on. I think this leads to my only drawback which is the fuel consumption. I get 15KMS per liter, but I am told that it is normal. I ride with someone who has a 750 Shadow and he easily does 350KMS per tank (same size tank) while I do less than 200. I have learned than when you install different pipes you need a jetkit and adjustments need to be made to the carbs. I am no mechanic but getting the carbs back to factory after a jetkit has been installed may be next to impossible. Otherwise I am totally happy with my purchase and love the ride. I am considering moving up a class to an 1100 Boulevard but that may not happen for a year or more yet. I am sure you will have an enjoyable experience on the bike expecially considering it is practically new with that few KMS. Take Care..JP
