GoldOxide agreed a gentleman's bike indeed. I take meticulous care of mine changing the oil and filter every 1,500 miles with an emphasis on riding smoothly all the time. I ride mostly back roads through hilly farmland with lots of elevation changes at 40-60 MPH. And she is just perfect. But when the occasion arises I can't help but air her out a bit and she loves it. Mine actually has a bit of a vibration zone (inline 4 high frequency tingling through the bars and tank) in the mid 3,000 RPM range and smooths out again above 4,000 RPM. But I spend most of my time below 3,000 RPM where she's just as smooth as glass. The bike's an absolute gem.
