The bike was bought brand new by a 60 year old woman. When she turned 72 her son thought she was too old. So the second owner bought it from him in 2011. He bought it with 6500 miles; in the 5 years he had owned it he put on 6300 miles. He added a backrest but it is easily removable. He replaced the back tire and spark plugs at 10k miles. The battery was replaced last summer and is fully charged and removed from bike during winter months. The VF engine has won many races for Honda They decided to make it into a V and put it into a Cruiser frame. The red line on this bike starts at 10 and goes to 12 5. You wont need to get anywhere near red line. Taking each gear to 7 or 8, 000 RPM will send you and this bike flying. This model had one problem from the factory and that was the cam chain tensioner would fail. At 12,300 miles the second owner had it replaced. There is a small dent in the right side. I just purchased the bike for $2800.00. My wife and 2 daughters just vetoed my purchase. Will quick sale for $2500.00 The new owner will have many many thousands of miles of enjoyment with this cruiser / crotch Rocket. do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers
