Love it. It is a red 02. Bought used in May of 04 with 2,700 miles. By August, I had 6,900 miles on it and left from California to Northern N.M., up to Sturgis bike rally [stayed 3 days there, great], over to Cody, Wyoming, up to Canada, and back to Central California. Never missed a beat. Carried 2 saddle bags, large T-bag, sleeping bag, tent, and a tank bag. Also have windshield on it. Traveled 4,530 and used 98.2 gallons of gas for a little over 45 mpg. Stopped at Great Falls, Montana on the way to Canada to change the oil. I was in a big hurry so the guys there at the Honda Dealer loaned me the tools and a spot to change my oil. Great guys there. Thanks. The bike ran perfect all the way up and back. It is now 11-10-04 with almost 13,000 miles and still going strong.
