i ran one for 5yrs flesh!......upside!...very fast(go like a train)..very comfortable...very reliable...very good on fuel (if you ride sensibly)...good carrying capacity...and realy good pillion comfort!...fantastic brakes!!!!.....now the downside,and the main reason i got rid of mine?....can be cumbersome in heavy traffic!..specialy 2up with full luggage etc...very heavy to push about!...eat tyres, front will go first, rear square off pretty quick if doing alot of motorway!!found michelin best alrounder!...if you 6ft and above you will defo need bar risers or will suffer from neck and shoulder probs!! ...if you dont use on regular basis then expect brakes to sieze, and battery to suffer from stupid alarm system they got?.most have meta357t,s...has a long distance tourer you simply cant go wrong!!...excels in every department,but as a commuter no good at all,just to big,and heavy!! :rolleyes
