Could be, as you say most places charge more for the bike so I'm still coming out ok.

I have been enjoying it and seeing what it'll do. I got the bike up to 100km/h, though it took quite awhile to get up there -- if you're familiar with Calgary, I floored it on the on-ramp to Deerfoot at Memorial Drive and it was just hitting 100kph as I took the off-ramp at 16 Ave. I think for my size (6'1", 185ish pounds), that's the top speed. As a way of getting to & from work it's great because I'm mostly on roads with a limit of <80kph at which the bike excels, but I'm wondering how to coax a bit more speed out of it. Ken, did you like the new sprocket? You do a fair bit of offroading on these... how do you like the trail handling capability?

For the curious, I also found that a full tank of gas gets you around 185 KM before having to switch over to the reserve. I'm at around 350km on the odometer now; the turn signal repair worked, and the replacement gas tank is holding up too. The light bulb on the tach burnt out so I'll have to look at that soon. It's a fun bike and I'm not expecting miracles but I wish it's reliability was better. :S
