13.200 miles since new in August 2008, and zero problems with the bike. A problem with the add-on light bar that came with the bike, but nothing else. Comfortable for my body, easy to control at parking-lot speeds, tons of torque and smooth and tight at 70 mph and up; it chugs along effortlessly at 70 and taking it up to the 80-85 range, which I do only occasionally, still feels totally smooth and effortless. Will get 50 mpg doing highways at 60 mpg, around 48 mpg at 70 mph, and I get around 43 doing my standard city/highway mix. The only negatives ... the tank only holds 3.7 gallons and the air-input stems should be on the rider's right side for much easier access. I think Suzuki should have given it throatier pipes, too. Picky stuff, I suppose, but in the end I have no complaints whatsoever.
Upgrades/Accessories: My bike remains stock ... leather saddlebags, additional light bar in front, white walls, footboards, windshield and gold/cream color. I'd like to find an after-market protective mesh for the oil filter and the oil cooler, and someday I may go with hard saddlebags, but otherwise I plan to remain stock ... even get white walls again when I replace the tires (which will probably be at 17k or so).
