Hi Ron, What part of the country are you from? Im in Tauranga and have one other Versys rider Iknow and ride with.Have almost done 50,000 on mine. Just blew the front fork seals otherwise 100% reliable.In fairness to the Versys I must admit about 25000km. has been on gravel roads etc.Would be happy to catch up or go for ride if youre ever this way. Cheers Dennis
