So at the close of the season I'm getting around 42 MPG or so still with about 1000 miles on the drive train.

What's to love:

1) The bike handles really, really well.
2) The bike has more horses / torque than either my 96 Sprint or Tiger

What's not to love:

1) The transmission is a joke. Straight-cut gears do not like to shift. Overall the transmission is far behind the rest of the bike. The transmission was completely overhauled in 2008 with modern hellically cut gears (like what I have on my 96 Trumpets :shock: ) Wish I had one of those, this is an '03.

2) Air cooled engines get really really really hot in the summer and run like crap in the cold.
