i´ve had this bike from new in april 2006. so far it has been back to he shop for two recals it has had one chain snap that nearlly wipedout my leg, the rear light no longer works (and it went back to the shop for repair, 1 day later it stopped working again) the exhaust has split in the same place on both sides and now blowslike a trooper, one indicator just fell off of its own accord and its broken down on me and needed to have a new managment system and relay. but the first 10,000 miles were hastle free.
