		Bought this used with 3,000 miles on it. Really liked the looks and this bike didn't notice me on it going up hill on the freeway going 75 mph. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Nice bike, however, not enough leg room for me and I am 5'7&quot; with a 32&quot; inseam. I also found that I would become motion sick on the bike if I <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">made to many sudden turns. I seem to have a weak inner ear, however, this has not happened on my Burgman 400 or any of my motorcycles, so I chalk this up to a short wheel base.<br />
<br />
Nice bike, nice storage. :)</span>
