Having covered 10000 miles on my beast, about half-and- half motorway/classified road use, I can honestly say that I'm pleased that I bought it.
It is remarkably laid back to ride, is forgiving of the occasional lapse of rider excellence (!!), and historically returns about sixty to the gallon.
Obviously with just a six-fifty powerplant, acceleration might be considered a shade pedestrian, but it is entirely relevant in that regard for modern traffic conditions, and will cruise comfortably at the legal limit with oodles to spare.
Worthwhile accessories: riding lights, (just one light makes me nervous); luggage rack/backrest; throwover bags; engine protection bars; Pyramid front fender extension ( the existing fender is far too short to be useful); screen ( don't laugh, I like 'em!).
