Well what can I say? It's my first and sure won't be the last. First off, research the bike and AVOID dealer add-ons! The basic 6,900 should get you everywhere. When I drove off the lot, it was my first time ever on a motorcycle.
The ride...
Now a days gas is expensive. The tank holds 5.1 gallons and at 2.95 a gallon, it will usually take 12 dollars to top it off. At a round trip, I usually get 160 miles each tank full plus emergency.
The seat...
It could be better. I use my bike for work which is 30 miles away from home. In one typical day I put around 70 miles a day. And after a long ride my rear needs something comfy. Could use more cushion.
Speed...
Well I got er up to 158 on IH10 and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Except for the bumps, the shocks could be a more soft ride. I'm not sure if it slips or what, but once in a while in first gear it will have a slow take off, but other than that great handling, accleration, and braking.
Upgrades/Accessories: Louder Exhaust, Softer seat, and Lojack (theft of motorcycles are starting to occur more).
