Summary:
Superb choice for all riders at all skill levels
Faults:
No issues in the first 500 miles.
General Comments:
Amazingly nice package of performance and handling. Comfortable riding position.
Even a first time rider can handle it, and grow into it. Forgiving, but you must treat it with respect. Easy to forget you've got 900cc under your seat.

Summary:
My two wheeled option of choice
Faults:
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this motorcycle.
This motorcycle has performed flawlessly since I bought it used.
Others have reported a foul stink from the exhaust, but mine has never done this. Non factory modifications possibly are the cause of their smelly emission.
This bike has a catalytic converter and relatively quiet exhaust system. It really sounds powerful around 3000 to 5000 rpm and has a nice burble to it.
General Comments:
Quick acceleration at virtually any point in the engine revs.
I have never had a bike that leads you into a corner like this one.
No "tupperware" to tear up if you go down!
