Good to know you had a good experience at Scuderia! Like an Idiot I sold my G5 to buy a (cough, cough)Harley. Gthe list goes on ans on. ranted its a used one, but you wanna talk about maintanence costs and reliability? Now I have a bike I cant ride at all because I cant afford all the things it needs. Runs well now but tires, seat etc.... Anyway, Im considering a C5 as there arent many G models around it seems these days. Everyone seems pretty happy with theirs. Also I htink the California bikes have better quality control.My guess.
