Mine has been beaten, banged, ridden off road, in rain, mud, dropped, and keeps going. I may have to have the valves checked as it's got 38,000 on it. It's great bike for an 07'. Here's a video made at the end of last fall on a nice day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWRYqwmwAg4 And another video from when it was still newish in 08' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoWWlZHSepM Adirondacks Deals Gap Devils tower, Death Valley, Yellowstone, Sturgis, Lead, Steam Boat and Jackson Hole.
