Purchased bike for increased power on the highway at high speeds. Very happy with the performance. Shifting up through 5 gears is good. Transmission shifts down automatically... not the smoothest, but no problems. Bike is challenged shifting down from 3-2-1 in regular intervals. Large gas tank (5 gal) is really nice. Bright electronic controls are nice. I have purchased and installed a windshield, foot pegs and handlebar risers. Brakes squeal but have not had 600 mile service yet and assume those will be fixed. Husband has Road Star 1900 and I now keep up with him well. Plastic body seems like that of a corvette, I guess to keep the bike lighter weight. Overall the ride is great, the power is great and it handles nice. I will enjoy this bike for a long time.
