Good Points
This bike is just COMPLETELY awesome, this isn € t just an overrated thing, and this is my personal opinion, from what I € ve seen of all the RS's they are just breathtaking. This bike, I € ve purchased second hand, but it € s lasted really well. Especially since it € s had its share and all I had to replace was the front brake and tire! It € s an almost ideal bike.
Bad Points
The only problem with it is how sporty it is. The bike itself is just so irresistible; you can € t help but just rev and let it whisk you away. My uncle has ridden it, and he can € t think of anything bad to say, and my dad won € t leave the thing alone! As a starting bike, it does seem a little bit powerful for a 50, but at the same time this is a good thing! If you want a simple bike to take you from A-B this isn € t the bike for you. There doesn € t seem to be a trunk of some sort on the thing, so I € m having to result to tie-downs on the tail. Because of this, NOT recommended for commuting. I see this as more of a "Fun day out" kind of bike.
And guys, if your wanting children in the future, Prepare yourself before you brake heavily!
General Comments
Powerful (for a 50). Sounds great when revved. Looks completely sexy. Generally easy to maintain. Catches the eye of people when you ride past. Brakes extremely well.
