I have owned the bike since 12/5/11.
Im now within 200 miles of 12k.
Ill start with the bad stuff then cheer you up with the good.
Bad :
1. Leg room Leg Room Leg room. (Ive said this many times).
2. The Wing wobble - even with a new tire - is annoying.
3. New set of tires already showing signs of wear running 41 psi in both and 45 psi in rear when two up with dyna beads installed.
4. Throttle sticks on occasion.
5. ABS - I dont like it on a bike (and is one reason I bought this model). I intentionally tried them out once and HAD to try them out a single time on the road. I dont like the feeling of being out of control of whats going on on the bike .. when the abs computer kicks in, you loose the brake lever ... I prefer linked only.
6. The stock seat feels like it pushes me forward. I have to keep scooting back
Good :
1. Power
2. Handling
3. Storage
4. Passenger comfort
5. cost of Service plan - $1700 bucks 3yr unlimited mileage local dealer ... they will be loosing money on the deal if you look at the mileage I put on my bike.
6. Windshield vent in hot weather.
I have over $2800 of installed accessories (waiting on ~600 in Kuryakyn lights due out in Jun). I can provide input on these to anyone wanting it .. So far, I have no major complaints about any of this stuff .. any negatives are listed.
