Bought this bike in August 06 after much research with the intention that this would be a good bike for my girlfriend to learn on and for me (experienced rider) to ride as well. I have never been more right. I grew up riding sportbikes so I was a little reluctant to move to the cruiser side for fear of the loss of power that I craved. I have never been more wrong. This bike has plenty of power to get my large frame up to speed in no time flat. It completely rocks around the twistys as well. The bike is not too intimidating for a new rider either and the price can't be beat.
There are only a couple of drawbacks though. Nothing major but Suzuki should research putting a 6th gear on this ride as at about 70mph in 5th gear it feels like I need one extra gear. Might just be me coming from my sportbike background though. If you are of a large frame like me, I would invest in a aftermarket seat and your tailbone will thank you for it. No RPM guage was one of my first gripes but realized soon enough that it was not necessary. The headlamp is a little dimmer than it should be during the daytime but is adequate at night. The brakes are superb as well as the clutch lever. This bike will keep up with most cruisers on the market and quite a few compliments have come my way.
Upgrades/Accessories: None as of yet but would recommend aftermarket seat and pipes.
