Bought new in 2003, have ridden in Al, Fl, Ga, La, Ms, Tn and Tx. Have approximately 50K miles of carefree riding. Haven't had a single problem with this bike. The only thing that I have to say negative about the bike, is the seat. The overall shape is perfect for the vertically challenged, like me (30" inseam). However the slope (bowl shaped) in the back keeps me sliding forward. A little more of a squared off back, would solve this problem. I've kept the bike stock except for creature comforts; pullback risers, throttle lock, driver backrest, passenger backrest and luggage rack combo, windshield, case savers (not highway bars) and custom bags. None of my friends have had a bike that has held up as well as this one has (including Harleys). This is the most reliable bike I've ever owned in the over 40 years I've been riding.
