    Had mine just over two years and ~13,000. Had one fan fuse blow but
    other than that has been faultless. Ground clearance isn't all it
    could be and really hot riders tend to fit rear sets, but to be
    honest, you are running off the edge of a BT010 when the pegs go down
    so it's not that bad.

    A double bubble screen means I can cruise (round tracks officer) at
    100 all day, the std screen is a bit low for that. Comfort is good,
    but the seat gives numb bum after a 450 mile day. 2,000 miles round
    France in 6 days and not an ache (other than arse), and luggage
    doesn't seem to upset it, if you up pre-load.

    Talking of suspension, you do need to twiddle, since it comes with
    very little pre-load, and compression damping. My front pre-load is on
    max, rear up three clicks, which seems OK for a 15 1/2 stoner.

    Drop me a mail off group if you want more info.

    And apparently they do 150 (speedo) with panniers quite happily.

    You need to put on some weight, that'll slow you down :))

    And when I said "happily" I mean it, there was plenty left to come. No
    idea what real speed that was though. 140 odd? 140 REAL mph from a 600
    two up would be pretty impressive, was it stanbdard, or tricked up?
    No, forget that, I'm not after a row just now ;)

    Cheers
