Mike C...I just bought one of these. I have put almost 600 miles on in...haven´t changed the break-in-oil yet. I cannot complain about it at all. My wife and I both ride the bike at the same time and it has plenty of get up and go. Will cruise at 70 mph with the two of us on it without any problem at all..and still has throttle left. Gets right at 56 miles to the gallon of gas with my wife and I on it. So I would recommend this bike for a great starter bike or just a run around to work and back if that´s what your looking for. Hope this answered some of your questions.
