    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good value, but now Z4 is out, market flooded.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not too bad, but parts are expensive. EG suspensions!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable, solid build. Gearbox could be much better.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Definately a cruiser, but with revs you get decent performance.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Apart from the well know rear suspension problems and wear and tear, good.
