Bought it in April 2015. I have changed many important parts that do not even need a replacement in bikes older than 10 years. Some have even been replaced for 3 times in these years.
Best Features: Nothing is best
Pros: I was hooked to those looks.
Cons: fuel pump, bad fuel injector, worst part availability.
