From everything I've read and a few people that I've met that have one. You'd better hold on when you wrap the throttle. I haven't heard of any dependability issues either.

That is one HOT motor. Don't get in front of him when he is getting "the feel" for that throttle.[sm=gears.gif]

I'd love to have one.

And I probably shouldn't even bring this up but a guy on another forum I frequent just had a Jims 120 go kaput with 6500 miles on it.Jims had the dealer ship the motor back to them but made no promises as to the outcome.Sounds like this guy is awaiting their verdict on the issue.

Edit because it won't let me link to the other forum for some reason.
