I purchased a 2003 Classic in April '09 and ride as much as I can. This is a great bike for a new rider and especially for a woman. At first it seemed big, but after taking the riding course and using the tiny 250's, this one is just right. I only gave it a 3 on performance because sometimes it doesn't seem to have a lot of power especially when passing other vehicles (maybe it's because I was going uphill :) ). Very happy with the bike and with 50mpg it's great for commuting. FYI - for anyone having trouble with the 'friction zone' there is a spring you can get which I highly recommend...it helped tremendously...
Upgrades/Accessories: I want to get V&H; Cruiser pipes because just like Reborn Rider I too feel louder pipes save lives! (And, these sound awesome!)
