General Comments:
My first bike.
I put a lot of parts on it, but it's very reliable - never had it break down on me since the day I got it running.
It's only a 4 speed, but it will do 55mph all day long (I'm 230lbs). Had it up to 75mph down hill one time.
Easy to find parts for.
It's a small bike, but it still accelerates faster than most cars.
Gets 55+ MPG.
I get exactly 120 miles on a full tank without the reserve.
I'm 6'2" and I don't find it too uncomfortable; if I'm on it all day I do get sore though.
Loved it; rode it 80 miles the first day I got it inspected, and 3000 miles the first summer I had it.
Handles great; I love taking it on winding roads.
Got me some nice attention at school and sporting events.
If you're thinking about getting one, do it.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
