    Rider Magazine - December 2007 Sport-Touring Shootout

    Agreed with all your points. I never truly blamed the bike to be honest. And I had to laugh when you wrote about the tendency to break to speed limits...I haven't obeyed the law yet... Later

    Thanks, although I am not interested in messing with this myself. It ought to be the dealer on a recall/TSB...if you get my drift. Keep the rubber side down... Bill
