Message	He seems happy with it so far. This was his first long-distance (~2000 miles) trip. He hasn't really wrung it out yet, but he was surprised to have already used up the stock tires (Pirelli PZeros). He got about 3000 miles out of them. Beyond that, he has encountered one quality control issue: The plastic cowl at the base of the windshield is starting to warp. I guess he got the replacement part under warranty, but -- since he lives a couple hundred miles from his nearest dealership -- he'll be replacing that himself. ...And it requires taking of a lot of other stuff to get to it.
