I have got my royal maroon C5 in September -09, before winter rode some 3000 km. And since mid April it counts 5800 km (3600 miles?) now. What a cool looking and sounding machine and fun to ride. My first motorbike at age 45, had some 50 cc mopeds in my youth, though. Wife likes it too!
FYI, I have got to report some misfortune too. There has been auto decompressor failure twice. I managed to get home engine running with loud ticking noise at first time. 700 km later the second failure caused some 3 miles (in total) sweaty bike pushing to home, also misfired engine blasted the air filter box lid open, lock broken to pieces.. Authorized service has repaired the fault twice within 1 year guarantee, but now the auto decompressor (the flyweight thingy) was not installed. Electric starter does not need the decompressor it was told and so it also seems. Been riding 500 km OK after last repair. Tool box lock disappeared before 1500 km, a new one still holds on.
I am not happy with the air filter box design, it is not dusty air tight (hinges and that plastic seal). First aid could be to tape the box lid air tight as one owner in India suggests.
But now it is midsummer fest here and about the best times at hand to thump down the road! Hope You understand my not so fluent english.
