Purchased my 09 Charcoal/Silver in Jan 10, over 14000 miles, matter of fact I need to take in for it's 12000 mile checks, to busy riding, it is now Jun 11, I ride to work everyday all types of weather good and bad. I haven't had any issues.
Had to take it in for a recall, (Rectifier Assembly). Guess it has something to do with overheating or shutting off, not sure, because I never had any issues. Just took it in for free work.
Been through 3 rear tires and 2 front, love this machine man.
The only issues I have is trying to find a good shop for mods, and shop hands to do the work you ask, and not what they assume without asking.
I'm in my 40's, so my stunting days are over, There's an old military saying, (Do what your rank can handle) but you do what your pockets and a$$ can handle, and I hope they are deep pockets, and you grow your own skin on the side, because you may just need it. You can shed some weight with mods, but it'll still be heavier than the smaller bikes.
Now for the occasional street race, highway of course, because I'm on it most of the time for commuting and work, the power, THE POWER, I'm not a pilot, but it has to be equivalent to the rush of being catapulted off a flight deck at about 1000 MPH.
I thought about purching another cruiser, but aside from the luxuries of having saddle bags, the BUS does it all and some, plus I'm usually where I need to be a lil faster anyway.
