I would ride it cross country and back. It ran well on points and when I put a Dyna III in there it doesn't skip a beat. Does not smoke at all.Please see videos of both a cold start and then a restart after a quick ride. Bike idles perfectly.cold start: cold startwarm start: warm start both videos and pictures from June 7th 2015known problems: Speedo cable is broken needs to be replaced. Just happened 2 months ago. rubber on throttle grip is split.Ever since I started driving an electric car I don't ride nearly enough to take up the spot in the garage.All maintenance was either done by myself or if out of my league by Martindale Motorcycle Works in San Marcos TX or by Angel City Cycle here in Los Angeles where the bike has been for the last 10 years.Thanks for bidding and good luck
