Me, I'm a C5 man. I can clearly remember my jaw hitting the table the first time I layed eyes on one back in 2009, resplendent in sky blue. Good Lord, I was in love. Finally, a motorcycle that looked like a motorcycle!
My C5 is a late 2014 model and I've had no issues with cracked frames etc. That sprung saddle suits my fat American arse just fine for a reasonable day's riding. I never once parked it up without turning my head back to have a look. I love the looks of a dark green B5 with a bench seat as well but for different reasons. Maybe it's time for one of each?
