An old roommate had a black one just like the photo. I've always loved the look and the flexibility of the bags/backrest/windscreen are great. That said, I couldn't stand to ride it. It was uncomfortable for me but seating position of course is up to the individual. One wierd thing was even in neutral if you'd rev the engine, the bike would tip to the right. Every time you take off, it leans and wants to go to the right. He bought it new and said it had always been that way.
There are two '98s for sale here for $6K btw.
