I had one of the first models of the XL brand a couple of years ago and it was a dog!The transmission was bad and the mechanic was even worse,top speed was 40 to 50 Mph and was a road hazard. I would like to get another one and have heard some good reports on the newer model but nothing substantial.Being on a limited budget and having something that would/will go 70 Mph (does it go this fast?)I would like to have some feedback before I make another decision.
