Owner forums are a rich place for info. You find the complaints (every thing has its' issues) then you decide if those sort of issues are ones you can deal with or not. On really good bikes folks will complain about trivial stuff like the dumb silver side covers, lack of RLETS and such stuff. Some issues are quite serious but very infrequent, others, fairly common.
Unfortunately, on the ThumperTalk.com, the perfect thread for such failures was asked by a prospective owner about four years after I bought mine. So I was able to chime in and confirm all the annoying failures (and expensive) folks talked about - I had them all.
Not sure if it would have prevented me from buying it though.
