I haven't had a bike (well I have a Honda Elite 80 which is fun) for 27 years. Man, I am so happy with this bike. I'm mostly an around town rider, but we do have some gorgeous rides in the area to be taken advantage of. The bikes 5th gear is high and I have hardly used it. It has great power and is very smooth, especially with proper clutch usage. It sounds cool, and the passenger is very comfortable. Although the only passenger I have had on it is my 16 y.o. son. I love the windshield, saddle bags and passenger backrest. I see they quit this model in 08. I'm so glad I decided to buy when I did. You can still get a water cooled, shaft driven, fuel injected 800cc Suzuki, I would bet (I haven't looked) but I liked having all the tour stuff come with it instead of having to add it later.
