I have owned a 96 Classic for 3 yrs and it is the best engineered motorcycle I have ever owned. Glad I found this one when I finally reached the age to just enjoy the ride and not care how fast it would go 0 to 60. I don´t see how I could ever do better in the handeling department or dependability either. Just get on,push the button, click and go - no hassel - no maintenance.
