This is actually the first bike I have ever ridden. So light and easy to ride. I wanted something to save me money going to and from work 10 miles instead of my big truck. $4 a week in gas instead of $70. It is not a big bike but it will get up and move. I have hit 75 on the highway and it is right a...

This is actually the first bike I have ever ridden. So light and easy to ride. I wanted something to save me money going to and from work 10 miles instead of my big truck. $4 a week in gas instead of $70. It is not a big bike but it will get up and move. I have hit 75 on the highway and it is right at home on the street or in the dirt. Great starter bike.

This bike is a great allaround town & trail. Back & forth to work and weekend short trips. I had the bike about 1 1/2 years with no problems at all. Only maint, is the oil change, every 1500 or so. With such a small oil pan only 1 Qt. I changed when it got dark looking. The chain lubing is a mess but not bad. I did put a set of street/trail tires on it,75% street& 25% trail made a better handler on rainey days. A very good bike over all. Some have said it is bullet proof and I have to say that is true. Ride safe.
