Thanks for your comments. The dealer is putting one togther tomorrow and if it runs OK, I`ll take it. I`ve read a few comments on the web about the reliability of Daimo, but mostly about the 2007 models. Any significant troubles with your bike so far? My wife groaned at the dealership and said the blue & orange bike looked like a transformer, so I was immediately sold on the bike right then. I did decide to go with the grey & black model instead.
