Hi I have enjoyed my little 250 travel for 3 years now. I only do about 10,000k a year but use the bike all year around. She has been reliable and easy to maintain. I call the bike the snail because it is so low tuned but that is what makes it so economic and reliable. I am sorry to hear JAWA have stopped production of this bike as I feel there was much they could have done to improve on their presentation of it. Mick
