Got a bad rap in the UK press but our continental cousins bought them in thier thousands. Don't be put off by reports of budget suspension. You might want to upgrade if you like trackdays but I've clocked up 13,000miles in less than 12months and never found it to be a major issue. The seat is hard and after about 2hrs you start to feel it.
On the positive side, great meaty engine with good mid-range. Comfortable riding position and looks that always get a few people gathered round at stops. Bargain price, great first bike, healthy modding scene.
Summary: A bit like marmite.
