Not meant to discourage, but I have owned one for 2 and half years and absolutely love it, my other bikes languish in neglect.

But…….although the QA has been increased many fold in the past few years, like British bikes of the ’50s and ’60s, they do require regular maintenance and tinkering. The good news is that just like those Brit bikes, they are dead easy to work on.

Great warranty (2 years, unltd miles) but few dealers mean DIY often.

I would not give mine up or sell it for any reason. When I bought it, my level of mechanical knowledge was limited, but I have learned much in the time spent with this wonderful machine.

Plus my dog loves to ride in the sidecar.
