I have a 08 one, superb machine. did near 5k miles last year in 1 days, You will need to invest in improving the seats but it will depend how do you find them and how far you will be travelling. Not really a commuter bike, its 300kg will not go unnoticed while ridding in traffic. Very stable as soon you start going. I would advise to get some TMPS system for the longer trips. Shaft transmission makes it "chain nightmare" free The side panniers will accommodate the helmets so you don't need to carry them around if you go for a walk. I've installed a lock on the second container box so I have more safe storage. You will love the electrical screen but be aware that you will get addicted to it and won't get another bike without one
