Hi folks, first post here. I have recently found myself interested in the EX500 for the apparent low cost of ownership and the good reviews I read about it. I have a couple of questions for the people in the know (that's you!).
I am 6'2", 180 lbs with a 34" inseam. Would I fit comfortably on this bike for any considerable distance? If not comfortable stock for tall people, what aftermarket products can help?
Does this bike have enough alternator output for electrical accessories? I will at least want to run heated grips and possibly heated vest and aux. lights.
How is the long term reliability? Any horror stories of major mechanical failure?
Anyone have their EX500 set up with luggage for touring (let's see some pics!)? Any stories of cross country trips on one of these bikes?
Thanks for any responses!
