I love the hell out of mine. Bought it with 5200 miles on it two years ago and now have 20520 on it with out and major problems. Rode to NY with it last summer and had a blast.
The biggest problem it has, is it like tires, but if you like wheelies,burnies,and just laying it down in corners with rapid acceleration you'll like it too.
So maybe its just the way I ride that eats the tires.
