“Very heavy and reliable bike with minor flaws which are various in different model years. This is normal in my experience and needs a bit more of attention but no major updates or upgrades.
The older models prior to 2004 have as well only a single brake disc at the front which is a bit strange with the weight of the bike alone.
Some owners have experienced as well a lot of starting problems and the intruder eating their batteries. This can be fixed by a revision of the carburettor, which I did after some painful attempts to fix this in other ways.
Still I believe it is a very good bike for the price of a third of a HD.
Have fun riding!”
“The only problem with this bike is a very clunky gear box. When you change gear it is very unnerving . Took it back to the bike shop. I was told it was normal for that model.”
“Loads of people are believing that it is a Harley... obviously it is not... but seriously you have to be a bit of an enthusiast to love it. You are carrying a lot of weight with you but the customising possibilities are incredible.”
