This beauty starts every time and has never left me stranded in the past 5 years of ownership. It has plenty of power for a single rider and. in my opinion. adequate power to two riders. I have rode it a few times on Interstate 65 at 70+ mph. Besides the wind buffeting. it purrs like a cat with its 6-speed transmission and shaft drive. If you are looking for a solid ride with minimal maintenance. please give this bike your serious consideration!P. s. I am willing to ride it up to two hours from Columbus. IN once full payment is made. I have video of it starting from cold and sitting idle. If interested in viewing this. please send me a question about it.

I used epoxy-metal to "glue" it back on (see pic #13).
