		This bike was my most foavorite bike I have owned. I loved the big fenders, the dependability and the retro look. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
I put 17k miles on the engine with out a problem and the only maintenance I did was change the oild every 5k and lube the chain every 500 miles. It was easy to drive in all weather. <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">I would still own it today if some lady wouldn't have rear ended me and put me in the hospital. Now I'll never be able to touch another bike for the relacement value that the insurance company wants to pay me because of the collector value apparently isn't accounted for in kelly blue book! I highly recommend!</span>
