[MATCHBX]

Being on a Kawi for the last 2 years, I have to say I like them. I have a 01 6R and it is a blast. I would like to go up 750 or a 1000 in the near future. But I think I'll stay with the 600 until gas prices go down. Can't complain about 50mpg and the ability to outrun most anything on the road.

As far as longevity, mine has 56,500 miles on it and still running strong. I bought it with 45,000 on it and have had no maintanence issues with it except scheduled stuff yet. It's a very nimble bike. Very forgiving as well.

I know most people don't like Kawi's but they do hold up well. Jet went out and looked at mine with me before I bought it. You might want to talk to him about what you should be looking for on a used bike if you decide to go that route.
