I,ve had my bike 12 months fro new, done over 5000 miles and its never missed a beat, been riding since 1982, always had a bike. This has to be the best to date, fuel economy is fantastic, last summer I did 450 miles, 2 up on one tank of gas. I had the sudowner seat added which realy makes this bike comfortable for long journeys. Cant fault this bike myself, just love it.
