well i visited the local dealership yesterday and left quite deflated! not a do it yourselfer bike. not much of a warranty for 25 grand! course you can buy a maintenance contract...ouch! first service is at 600 miles and cost in excess of 300 bucks....3000 mile service is close to 600 dollars..a valve adjustment requires removing the cams and shimming!!! someone already mentioned the power to weight is poor. and, it is! almost 1000 pounds and only 100 horsepower and gas mileage is in the low 30s. and to me it seems that Can Am intends for the dealership to do all the maintenance. seems that you have to remove most of the fairings just to do an oil change! so i ride 3000 miles and i already have spent almost a 1000 dollars on service and 400 dollars on gas....so for 50 cents a mile not counting depreciation and wear and tear i guess this is now just a thought! solo on the bmw 1200 RT for me. heck, i could buy another porsche for the price of a T-rex or Morgan! anyways, thanks for the comments !
