I have a 2007 Classic model. It now has almost 25,000 miles on it. My
wife, an inexperienced rider with a 29" inseam rides it comfortably
and I, an experienced rider with a 29" inseam, have scrapped both
floorboards in the twisties, use it to commute 25 miles a day, and I
just got back from a 5000 mile round trip ride on it. It's a damn good
bike. The local shop just did the "big" scheduled maintenance on it
and he said he checked the valves but they were spot on and did not
need any adjustment at all. I've not had any thing go wrong with it
and have only had to do regular oil changes and replace the tires.
Damn good bike.
