I'm a little tired of the negative feedback as well so I thought I post my observations and experience.
Bought the '06 ABS model in April and have 6,900 miles on it. It is an absolute hoot to ride with no problems - brakes, heat or otherwise. Longest single day was Pittsburgh to Atlanta. Body was hot - hot? in June? Go figure! - wrists were a little tired and my butt was a little sore but in no way do I consider that to be a fault of the bike. That's what happens when you do 700 mile days!
Most of the miles were in the twisties of West Virginia where the ABS saved my bacon more than once. Twisties are where you develop your relationship with the bike. I know when the front end is ready to come up, when the back is about to slide and just how much I love this machine.
I am in the planning stages of fulfilling a lifelong goal: Round trip to Alaska on a motorcycle. Like HeyMan, I got no time to lose. I think the Sprint is good to go!
