Gotta love this bike....getting close to 75.000 km ( 46.600 miles ), doesn't look, sound or ride like it...feels fresh and solid.......fortunatelly, since i got it when it already had 44.700 miles....so, fairly new to me... 
Did a valve adjustment recently and replaced the camchain ( kept same tensioner ) and overall tuneup.
The Arrow end-can gives it a deep growl that fits the bike really well ( also has K&N filter, kept the stock headers ) and makes it sound really mean...
Still getting used to its particularities, like the engine noise it does ( mostly the "tick, tick, tick" on the front / right side and clutch basket while on idle ) and that it takes about 10 minutes into a ride until i feel like the engine responds with 100% capacity and sounds crispier....the way the speed climbs is very, very discrete, since you don't feel it as the bike is stable as a rock....but gets up there fast enough for me....also feels like it responds better to progressive throtlle instead of hammering it ( more engine vibration when i do it, specially in 6th, under 75 mph )
