Greetings.
I currently own an 06 SportsClassic Sport 1000 Monoposto. I love this bike. It is more than a motorcycle. It is pure art. I will never sell this bike.
But I am moving and I am facing a 50 mile ride each way, in hideous traffic. I will go crazy making that haul in a car, and so I am looking to commute by bike. Lane sharing is legal here and so I feel in stop and go traffic, I can save 30 minutes in commute time.
But I really cannot see subjecting my Sport 1000 to that kind of miles day in and day out. Nor can I see subjecting my body to riding the Sport 1000 like that, because as pretty as this bike is, the ergos are so aggressive, it is truly a torture rack to ride.
Has anyone put that kind of miles on a daily basis on the little Monster, and if so, have there been any reliability issues? I am also curious as to the kind of mileage people are getting with this bike.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
