		<div class="rating_value"><img title="3.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="3.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="3.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="3.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-half.gif" /><img title="3.75" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-empty.gif" /></div>   

		I started late in riding and this was a perfect choice (although not my first choice) as a &quot;trainer&quot;.  I like the idea of the liquid cooling over the traditional air cooling.  The bike has a very friendly seat height.  I am 6'2&quot; so at first the bike seemed almost tiny to me but as a g<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ot a bit more familiar it grew on me.  it has more than ample power to move my 250#'s and can keep up on the interstate with no difficulty. Six speeds help help the twin parallel ease the strain at high speed.  If you plan on a passenger it has a max recommended total weight of 399 #'s including luggage and you may opt for a bigger bike.  Fuel economy is excellent!  It seems very friendly in normal driving and highway travel but is a bit cumbersome in a tight parking lot at low speed.  <br />
My bike has stock windshield and Fire &amp; Steel sissy bar with aftermarket saddlebags.</span>
