On the top tier of the import bikes from all the owner reports.



However, like with any import bike, I'd wait and get feedback from people who get the new models first before you jump in. This is nothing against Pitster or any other Import company, but history has told us that some of the manufacturers rush products to market and the first run are riddled with minor issues. The issues are ironed out, but if you just dropped cash to ride a bike, you want to ride the bike, not wait for replacement parts!



Again, This isn't directed at Pitster or any other specific import company, but it pays not to be the early adopter on a new model until it has proven itself in the market.



No worries on the wait as I'm sure their will be a ton of early adopters that don't work for the dealers (people who aren't profiting from the sale of said motorcycles) who will be giving their first impressions within a week of the release.



From early dealer slant, they look to be a solid bike.

I have had nothing but awesome luck with my 05 that is sold now and my 06 that I ride currently. I think that they have put together a great bike for the cost. And the customer service is HUGE these days. I can say with an honest opinion that Gary at USAMOTORTOYS aka PITSTERPRO is one of the best guys I have ever dealt with. He makes sure he gets you what you need, in a timely fashion, and not bullshit you in anyway.
