Love the way it looks. The sound is nice and deep. Wish it was a little louder especially at highway speeds. Handles better with Z-bars than the stock buckhorns. Adequate pull especially at 3000+ RPM. In my opinion, this bike is timeless...made this style of bike for just 3 years (1986-87-88) and it still turns heads. Actually heard a Harley Dealer comment that it was a beautiful bike...strange HUH? It is practically maintenace free. Shaft drive, self adjusting cam chain and lifters, hydraulic clutch and hydraulic front brake...really nice features.

Pro: Nice ride. Great Looks. Easy / Low maintenance. Very reliable. 4th gear is great at highway speeds. Handles well. Lots of CHROME!

Contra: Wide gap between 3rd and 4th. Crusing between 70kph and 90kph is not possible without high revs in 3rd or severe bucking in 4th. Seat is nice at first but after about 30 minutes, your butt will be dead. Aftermarket parts are pretty much non-existant.
