I wanted one of those so bad it hurt. Then I started hearing about them blowing up. And then there was the whole frame issue. I've seen a few pop up on the market with two frames now. I rode one last year, and it was wicked fun. However, learning the maintenance problems from the owner was an eye-opener.
I am here for an education, it seems to me that a TR Strada (in my case) is a great deal.....first ADV bike, you can get a new one for 5499. Seems like a steal!! I am still shopping but right now it all seems to come back to a Strada.....we'll see in a few months.
