This is a perfect bike if you've just passed your test. I had a 550 Virago before this and is truely a breath of fresh air. Performnace is very good for the size of the bike, sits at 80 or 90 easily on the motorway, even two up or with luggage on the back. I took my bike round europe for 4 weeks and did 5000 miles and didn't have one fault. its fule economy is excellent. About £11-£14 to fill up depending on petrol prices and touring at 80mph easily gave me 160-180 miles out of teh tank. Sit at 70 and you will get over 200 miles to the tank. Very comforable for longer rides but not for a pillion, as i have been told the leg position is uncomforable. No regrets whatsoever in buying this bike, a truely uncovered gem.
