i have 3,000 miles on mine and really like It. check the Body and be prepared for the heat on the right side. I had some brake wear Issue. But I think that was due to factory adjustment and poore
quality control. That being said you can injoy a good long day in the saddle. And that is what counts the most.

34 i think would be a good average. wife gets that pretty steady now +/- and she is a bit heavy on the throttle since all the mods were made to her '10XXX. Read the stickey posts for sure so you are informed about some of the things we have done to get this great handeling machine powered up and running cooler.

32 is the best I can get.....6500 miles on it with lots of mod's to make it run better and cooler....6K and counting but I'm really happy with my 2010 as it sets now...Looks sharp and runs like a beast now!!
