Also remember that any thread you read here is someone's specific problem, it isn't usually representative of all the bikes. The vast majority of riders are happy with their machine. If you are going to buy a new one, most threads about 3 YO and older machines probably don't matter. And to put it in perspective: For every one guy that has an idle problem on an EFI machine, there are several thousand who don't.
Hope you pick a pretty color.
