Bike looks to top out just before 140 (not sure of the exact as its an analog speedo) but it gets there pretty quickly.

Bike was a little tall compared to the lowered 900 but still easy to ride and comfortable.... I enjoyed it

A guy I work with has one. He seems to love it.

If you can get past the fact that it looks like a big scooter it really is a lot of fun to ride.

Well he lives on a gravel road in BFE, and he needed a dual sport. He even installed a crash cage, bags, sliders, gps, winter riding warming parts, gel seat, etc....
