The brakes are decent, the power is decent, the suspension sucks, the tires are mediocre, and the seat is torture on anything more then 50 mile rides. I have spent a lot of money and time to fix these problems. Keep this in mind though - I am a hyper agressive rider who was looking for a sport cruiser, with more emphasis on the sport part. I have flogged this bike vicously from the moment break in was complete. It has taken it quite well and still delivered. It has been modified over and over increasing its capability and each step has made it more and more enjoyable to ride. I can say this - this bike, although very frustrating at times has the most soul and character as anything I have ever ridden. And I have learned that once you get the bike set up for yourself and the way you ride and the bugs worked out, there is none better. This bike has unlimited potential and character. It can be anything you want it to be and is incredible as a clean slate, actually is very capable too. All in all I would highly recommend to anybody who wants a capable bike with potential and character for a long torrid relationship. I love mine!
