If you think it rides nice now just wait. Wait until you fork out a few bucks for aftermarket shocks. What a difference in ride that makes,unless the previous owner already swapped them out. Seriously the stock shocks are not the best. Invest a few bucks and it will ride much nicer.--- PS you can ride in the summer with the correct gear. I toooo cook my brain every summer in the beautiful Buckeye,Az. area,ha,ha.---Full face helmet helps keep a person from feeling like they are riding through a furnace and a summer vented, light colored jacket helps,IMO. Enjoy the new ride.
