Faults:

The only thing I ever had to do to this bike in the four years that I owned it was change the tires, and did not have to do that much. I always ran Metzler touring tires on it.

General Comments:

Excellent bike. Started first time, every time. Handled well, light weight. Bike also had a fairly low seat height. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone.

The only negative would have to be the way it handled in a severe side wind, but a lot of corrective leaning sorted that out too.

Great bike for beginners and experienced riders, and also good (in my opinion) for women looking to do some long distance touring.
