"Reliable comfortable touring classic"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Not one thing has gone wrong.
General comments?
Airhead Boxers have been in production for over 50 years without much change. I got mine on a whim, hardly knowing anything about them, as I was shopping for a Honda when I ran into a friend who had 3 for sale. I took one ride and thought how comfortable this bike is. Super quiet and very light for a 900 cc bike. Important for an older rider like myself. Most modern big bikes are way over 600 lbs or more. This is around 425 lbs. Stock seat is comfortable. Great gentlemen's touring bike with tons of cool factor.
