I have seen them on trips. OK ride, there are two seat heights available, check EBAY. Lots of aftermarket hop up parts, and accessories

Fun bike, but the stock seats are awfully uncomfortable. Had a blast for 2 years. When I got it, could only ride about 45 minutes. Then I got a Corbin seat, what a difference. Could ride for hours after that. Well worth the money, spend it, worth every penny!

we have a 2003 buell, brand new. It has spent more time being repaired then with us. save your money and buy a reliable bike. Also while they sell this as a bike for begginers, the clutch is way to tight/sensitive. They have poor resell value and trade in value just to make thinge more interesting. Your better off with a ducati Monster 600, a Honda Shadow 750.

It makes a great "metro-bike" and I really am fond of my machine. As with most motorcycles, your derrier (ass) get rather tierd after an hour or so, but it is great for Sunday Morning rides. With the Vance Hines exhaust, it will have about 36 HP which enough for Texas freeway travel. A good speed is 60-65 mph. I has lots of torque and a nice transmission, excpet for first gear. Get a good closed-face helmet and you won't need a wind screed, and there will be less wind noise. Have fun! :>)
