This bike is exceptional. Fit and finish is very good. The 05' model has a higher horsepower than previous models. Shorter rake to help low speed handling (although a bear, this bike is easy to get comfortable with). Many options are standard that far outweigh the competitor. With one up handling is awesome, two up is no different with the remote adjustable shock under your seat. I haven't owned a motorcycle for over 7 years prior to purchasing the BMW. took a test drive on a demo and drove one home two weeks later. Take the time to get the options and color you want, it may take time but it will be worth it! BTW, 500 miles a day is no problem on this bike. Passenger seat is great, driver is o.k. 8 speaker stereo will turn heads as you drive by the golf course. go for it.
Upgrades/Accessories: everything. higher windshield, 6 disk cd, heated seats and handgrips, soft touch seats, luggage rack, ocean blue (hard to find). no GPS, I can read a map.
