The cons mostly revolve around one's expectations. These are 800cc class, carbureted, unfaired motorcycles. The only real complaint I have heard is that they are a little underpowered for two up, extended riding. Some guys have blown up their airboxes for some strange reason, possibly because of an out-of-adjustment carb, but have had them replaced under warranty. Other than that, most of the pain is self inflicted, and no fault of the bike.

The pros have already been discussed above. They are quick and agile, a kick to ride, and require very little maintenance. There are some things you can do to improve performance for very little cash, as you probably know, and a lot of parts are traded on this website for a fraction of new cost.

Go for it!
