Good Points

Very comfortable ride.
Great gas mileage about 60miles per gal.
Bright tail and head lights, easy to be seen.
No clutch, twist and go works perfect.


Bad Points

No dealers, need to service or repair yourself.
Most motorcycle shops won't touch it.
Expensive parts and takes time getting parts.


General Comments

I bought it used and have had two problems with it.
Had to replace voltage regulator, around $200 for the part.
Reworked the closed fuel system venting, as gases would cause the engine to stall when hot. Took a while to find out about the fix for that.
Other than that this Atlantic is fun to drive.
Dealers are starting to show up again, one in my area in the past few months.
Seems to be holding value, cost around $3500. Even after about a year I still see them being sold about the same price.
I like the fact that I can drive and not worry about a clutch. Driving in traffic is much easier. The automatic transmission takes care of the rest.
