General Comments

Bought mine a 2002 last year, it had 2 previous owners with 17000 miles on the clock. I'm 60 and thought the possition would be hard on wrists and back but its not, its an absolute treat to ride. Even carrying a passenger the handling and acceleration is excellent but I find the rear break leaver a little to high (I'm 6'2''). However its the best bike I've owned.
