  • love this bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 04, 2011

    just started driving this past summer and for a first bike this is perfect, easy to handle and enough power to get the job done. The only thing I would change would be the seat.

  • Awesome First Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 10, 2009

    I bought my bike in March 2008. It was the first bike I have owned after taking the Riders Safety Course. I was amazed and how comfortable it is. I was a little scared that I wouldn't be able to lift it if it fell (over 700 pounds). I learned the proper way for anyone to lift a bike and when ...

    This is my first bike. So far, its only negative points are the seat- VERY uncomfortable, and the power output on the interstate. Around town it does great; about 50-55 mpg. On the interstate it gets about 35 mpg, but rides smooth up to aroud 90 mph. Overall, it's a very nice, good looking, extremely ...

  • A great second bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 07, 2009

    This bike is a great 2nd bike if you are looking for a cruiser style bike. The seat height is great for me, 6'1". The engine is a little anemic with only about 40 hp. Bike looks great and rides smooth at low and high, up to my limit of 90 mph. Bike rides fine stock but I have upgraded my seat, added ...

    Would highly recommend this bike as a step up from a 250, with a price of about 7k.

  • A great bike for the intermediate rider
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 13, 2008

    This is a great bike for an intermediate rider. Maintenance on this bike is easy, and it is a great learning machine for maintenance, and riding. It also allows you to install many bolt on accessories right from home. It is a great platform that will allow you to move up into a bigger class of motorcycle ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 01, 2008

    I use this bike to commute to work. I have no trouble negotiating rural highways, Interstate, or in-town. A great bike for the money.

Power on the hills was excellent & breaking coming down was good with some down shifting.Ride quality ...
