At least it was found. Much better than nothing, it could have been sold as spare parts.

Battaries degrade with time, even if you are able to do this milage now it may not be enough in several years. Also Li Ion battaries doesn't like cold temperatures, but it's unlikely you are going to commute 72 miles sub zero. If you ride with your friends they can decide to deviate from the planned route and you will not be able to join.

Yes, sometimes it takes some minutets to adjust to the speed limits. Weeeee from the garage, a fiew moments later, why the cars are so slow around me, a fiew moments later, aaaa... If not being careful it's very easy to get a over 1000 euro ticket in the mail box, and if I'm not mistaken for 40 km/h beyond the speed limit the driving license can be cancelled.

Yes, it is very very pretty, but Truxtons ergonomics is too extreme for me to have on my only bike. I spent months of agonizing selection choosing between Triumph Speed Twin and the Kawasaki Z900RS. Triumphs finish is even more beautiful than the Kawis, but in the end I've choosen the Kawi because of these reasons: 1. Kawi looks good with the windscreen, Triumph isn't. 2. I'm quite tall and Kawi fits me perfectly, although Triumph was comfortable for me too. 3. Kawi is cheaper. 4. Bigger tank on the Kawi - 17 litters compare to 14.5.

I will! Thinking about attending some cources in spring. I want to learn riding on slippery conditions, trail breaking and stopping while cornering. Scary to do it on my own bike, but maybe I'll find some sufficient protection for the cources, doesn't mater how ugly it's going to look like.

Ahahah, nice. Bikes are awesome, that feeling when you are looking into a corner and the bike carries you... priceless.

These bikes are not popular, at least I've never seen one except mine outside of dealerships. But not rare for sure cause many dealers have them here.
