Vibration causes nuts to loosen. Thread locker is a must.

You must really like to work on bikes huh? All of those things going wrong so early and you're happy with the bike still.
Not to mention the absolute terrible (and at times borderline dangerous) lack of power that has many wondering why bullet is a fitting name.
Um the bullet name was coined like half a century ago.
How many 100hp bikes were around then...
Right, and like the name the bike has all of the features of a 1950's bike, including a lack of reliability, ridiculous amount of maintenance/repair, but of course all available to you at a modern day inflated price.
Just look at all of the things that has gone wrong with the reviewer's bike. AND he's happy with it as already pointed out. As mentioned, this is for people that like to work on bikes. If you like to ride bikes, there are far better options.
If you like to ride bikes to the exclusion of working on them, you're only half a motorcyclist.
