Love this bike. Classic lines of the old moto's without the headache of finicky mechanical issues and unreliability. This one is a beauty, often mistaken for a Triumph, but it's much more dependable! :) I was afraid it would be too large, since I ride a wee scooter, and my biggest motorbike was a '72 Honda CB 350... but I am getting used to it, and loving it more each time I get to take it out. It's soooooooo smooth at high speed, I hit 140km with complete confidence, and no fear at all. She's a bit heavy, but that makes her feel really stable. I'm still a new rider, but this bike allows me to learn without the anxiety of her breaking down, or doing odd things-unexpected and scary! Love this bike. :)
