This motorcycle when you get to the core of it, is just plain FUN! It's different in so many ways & because of this, it attracts a lot of attention. The ratings given above, I'll break them down. Engine, it's plenty powerful for non-freeway driving, but it's not going to win any races. Easily pulls away from normally accelerating traffic. At about 55mph, it is very comfortable, at 70, it's got some engine clatter. It's normal, but confusing the first few times you take her up that fast. Suspension, quite good for 1-up riding, throw a passenger on the back & it feels more stable, but she may bottom out if not adjusted from for 2 people. Handling, wonderful low speed & medium speed, but you get up near 70-75 and you hit a bump or ridge in the road, it takes a while for the bike to straighten up. Transmission, you can false neutral between gears if you try, but it shifts very smooth & finds neutral easily. Ergonomics, Comfortable! Although I have an aftermarket seat. hour and a half ride quite easy before wanting to take a break.
Value... very subjective, but for me it is exactly what I was looking for! Brakes work great & are predictable. Components... All seem to do exactly as they were designed. Reliability, this has yet to be seen but the 2009 G5 Military Bullet that I have, has a UCE engine & apparently is a much more reliable engine than they have had in former years. Overall, if you are looking for a bike that gets attention & is different than every other bike out there, this is the bike for you.

This sort of works, and I didn't think it was going to, so well done.
