Motor is a little buzzy but didn't bug me. No major known reliability problems other than the fuel fittings (which should have been fixed under a recall). Suspension is as decent as you'll get out of a stock 600, not spectacular but no major bitches on my end. Great brakes. Pretty heavy. Most issues seem to be related to build quality rather than design, so if the bike lives past 1000 miles the issues are generally worked out. Fantastic bike for all-day canyon rides and occasional sport-touring.

Awesome! You had the 600, not the 650 right? I heard the 650 fixed the torque problems. How about the ergos, they seem... comfortable? The bars look super high.

I'm seriously considering this for my next ride.
