This bike is the best ride I have ever had. I log about 12k per year and I have not had a single problem with the bike. After having it for two weeks, I took the bike from Fort Hood, TX to Savannah, Ga. It was 2.5 days, 1200 miles and the best road trip I ever had. This bike, with cruise control set at 65, averages 50 miles to the gallon! I plugged my IPOD into the radio and the miles melted away! This bike has everything and I love it. It took me going to Iraq for a year to pay for it, but it was well worth it in my opinion.
