I´ve had mine for nearly two years, I´ve ridden it to work every day in all weathers. The finish is OK but some rust has come through on the chrome, but to be fair I haven´t looked after it as well as most people would. Some of the powder coating on the frame has flaked off as well. The only mechanical problem was an oil leak from the oil pressure switch, apparently common, it was replaced under warranty. I love the bike; but in those two years I have never seen another one on the road.
