Have had one of these since 1998. It´s a love hate thing. Lots of reliability problems that stranded me on the road the 1st few years which seem to be worked out. I crashed 3 time at less than 30mph when I had to ´EMERGENCY´ brake, each time the front tucked in and high sided to the right side although the brakes were impressive above 55mph! I believe this is a defect with the design. Didn´t think I would like the motor & tranny but they are great. The seat is LAME... The locks on the bags are a joke. I liked the inner liner/luggage bags.
