Only one issue with a recall for water pump shaft seal and then a warranty repair for a leaking head gasket. All in all, not a bad 8k on a first model year bike. I've not encountered anyone that has had any serious issues with one.

Hmm. His was nothing but problems, bought it brand new. But I know every model has its demons from time to time.
