Just knowing how reliable they are, I might be in the market for one. Hoping to do some research over the next couple of months, and find one for a decent price. Might be willing to travel if the price is right.

A 'fly-n-ride is fairly common with these bikes. They normally are not run hard and majority of folks who own them will even have service records. If seviced properly, 300K and not 'break a sweat' doing so is not uncommon.Originally posted by IanDMacDonald View Post
Mine has 83K, oil stays 'see-thru' clean in inspection window, and uses absolutely no oil with 6K oil change intervals(Honda reccomends 6-10K intervals). Also like the 48-52mpg@80mph......they ARE a LD riding scoot, and can do it handidly litterally sittin' on top of 7.4gal. of fuel. The 100ponies AT the wheel gives them plenty of giddy-up.....quick, quiet and stealthy
