Yep, great offroad bike. not soo great for traveling 3000 miles to go offroading, tho. I still have it and enjoy it on the local dirt, cause fortunately it was worth $4,500 when i last got it rebuilt for $4,000 .
At 40k miles, i had to fix a leak in my 950's engine. Was told that it would be $1500 just to tear it down to the point where they could figure out where the leak was. Suggested that while they were at that level there was a bunch of other work that should be done. I asked them for a rough estimate - $4k. I then asked them if people just threw these bikes away at 40,000 miles. Didnt get an answer.
Close, but no ceegar. It is Hwy 33, from Ventura to Cuyama. Ventura County's version of Angeles Crest Highway, but with fewer cars and bikes and wrecks.
