Get yourself a well looked after 1st gen with 3rd gen shock, good rubber and suspension set up and your done! 1st gen 30kg lighter too due to no ABS, 6th gear is a unnescessary addition for way too much money.
It’s a great bike no doubt but you are dead wrong to say that it is easy to manage at slow speeds. Facts is that it tends to tip over as the CG is not low enough.
I'm in the United States and I've got mine up to 165 indicated that's miles per hours U.S. but when I'm on the freeway doing 70 I do wish it had an Overdrive LOL
I keep a full-face helmet in one of my saddlebags and an extra riding jacket in the other. Never know when somebody might need a ride. LOL what's your girlfriend's name again.
