Good Points
My Suzuki Volusia VL800K3 is a torquey,reliable,smooth and comfortable mile muncher. The bike gets noticed and looks great, it is often mistaken for a Harley. Lots of people compliment it's look. It stands out in a crowd of race reps and has lots of presence
Bad Points
I find that I will have to watch the corrosion on my bike,mine needs regular care/cleaning. I think that the ignition switch badly sited. I believe that the chrome is not robust and brake couplings and foot levers corrode easily. It would be better if the windshield should come as standard.
General Comments
As an older rider it suits me. I am a cruiser not a peg scraper.
Not the most exciting bike in the world compared to my previous bikes but I do enjoy it. I scraped the pegs a lot the first few times out until I learned not to lean too much..
The wind blast at speed is a pain but I plan to fit a screen.
