ROFL
compared to most bikes, the 500's motor is a short lived pile. and far from bulletproof. theres SO FREAKIN many weak points, and no rev limiter, where 10k should be the limit, its not. 11.5 is about where the cdi stops generating spark on a schedule, and it turns random, plus the bottom ends open up at that speed pretty easy.
sorry I just cant help but laugh about it. yes they're great bikes, and very comfortable, but long lasting is totally crap. by 30-40k they're done. and dont get me started on first gens.
