"The biggest issue Iv seen the bike have is very poor brakes. Anyone experience this as well? Iv read a lot of people talk bad about the bikes brakes."


I had to replace front pads about evry 6000 miles, but they were easy to do and cost less than $20. The rear drum brake "helped" to stop the bike, but if it was your

only brake you'd smash into something in a day or two. The good news, I never had to do any work on the back brakes.

As to running 70-75mph, well, I had to get my engine pretty warmed up before it would do 75mph and no way is it going to maintain that speed in a head wind or up

any grade, that's pretty much all she's got right there. If you need to do 75 on the freeway, you need a bigger bike! I'd say at least a 400cc machine and you'd be

better off with a 500cc Vulcan or a 600+Shadow or something if you want to run on the freeway and expect to do 75mph. You would be well served to wait a bit and

try to find a deal on a well cared for slightly larger bike with a few years and not to many miles on it, and they are out there! Good luck!
