I bought the 1st one in Colorado Springs in 99. Those were way better than most of the low to mid range bikes. My test ride was up a mountain road. It did nothing wrong. I went home and a couple of weeks later went back and bought the same bike. By then. it had around 75 test miles. I received more comments about that bike than almost any I've owned in my life. I would buy another if I could find one that wasn't "done". :)
