This is a great starter bike and has served me well over the years. It has great handling, is quick off the line, and gets 50 mpg. I've only used it to ride to work on occasion and to run errands around town, so it only has 6k miles (the previous owner bought it for his wife, and she never used it). I've kept up with the maintenance, getting regular oil changes and replacing the front tire this year. It has a lowering kit so the seat height can go from 25"-29", great for people like me with short legs. It only weighs about 300-375, which makes it very easy to pick up if you have to put it down.
