I consider this bike "the ultimate Japanese standard". It is smooth, reliable, strong, and with shaft drive lends itself nicely to cross country touring. I added a windshield,throw/over saddlebags, and a cruise lock for complete touring comfort.Having ridden it for 29,000 miles, maintenace cost has been low. Valves were adjusted by the shop at 17,000 miles. I replaced a leaking oil cooler line at 23, 512, & do my own tire changes, at home.I believe the bike has a weak centerstand-having bent mine on two different ocassions. I am vertically challenged, and enjoy being able to put both feet firmly on the ground.
