| Bought mine in April and now have about 4500 miles on it. I am averaging about 48 mpg with mine, and that is a mix of daily commuting and weekend trips in the mountains here in Colorado. Most of the weekend trips are two-up and I have plenty of power to pass at will on the mountain passes. Have ridden several times now in the rain here and have had no performance complaints there either. Seat is pretty comfortable and have no problem spending four or five hours on it without getting to uncomfortable, though I am looking at getting a aftermarket seat for it. I am also toying with the idea of either removing the windshield completely or trying a shorter version of one. I notice a lot of drivetrain noise with this bike, but some aftermarket pipes will take care of that as well. Overall I am happy with it, and do not regret buying it. Don |

| Love It I just bought mine the day after Memorial Day and already have over 4000 miles! I am loving this bike! This is my first bike and for me to be the size I am,  (300lbs), it rides with ease and has plenty of get up and go!
