Looks great and is a real comfy ride.
Well maybe its just me but 1st problem I had was the throttle grip buckled internally where the cable connects causing it to drop the cable and get stuck at high revs, im thinking design fault due to the plastic used to house the throttle nipple, 2nd problem was the carb had a crack in it, third it now has a tendency to stick in high revs due to the throttle cable catching in its own sleeve(which I €™ve replaced along with the carb), all this from a bike just a little over 2 years old has cost me more in repairs than my old one which was a 15 year old piece of junk that ran smoother, more reliably and for longer with less trouble and cost me a darn sight less.
If it weren ' t for the problems this bike has given me and the cost it has added to the initial purchase(yeah it was second hand but only 6 months old and barely any miles) I would gladly recommend it to new riders who appreciate the cruiser style, however I cant do that simply because of the trouble it has had, I ' d say save up the extra 500 quid and get yourself a stronger brand name and plump for an Intruder or Marauder.
