I HAVE A 2005 BLASCK/SILVER IT DOES EVERYTHING WELL BUT NOT LIKE A FULL SPORT BIKE. IT MAKES A GREAT SPORT/TOUR BIKE FOR REAL WORLD EVERY DAY RIDING.THE BIKE LOOKS GOOD,HANDLES WELL,GOOD BRAKESAND HAS USABLE POWER. THE BIKE HAS GOOD MANNERS AND IS VERY PREDICTABLE IN CORNERS AND AT SPEED.I FIND IT A HOOT TO RIDE.JUST FINISHED A 1500 KM RIDE THROUGH NOVA SCOTIA ALONG THE COAST AND IT WAS ROCK STEADY IN BAD CROSS WINDS.
