The TU is a sweet bike. There is not really much negative I can say about it. I only have about 800 miles on it, but so far my mileage has been between 70 - 84mpg, the 70 was on the first tank of gas, and the 84 was on the most recent. It seems to get better mileage if you open it up a little. I was real easy for the first tank, but have been progressively riding it more aggressively. The fuel injection is sweet, you just turn the key, wait for the pump to stop, and bump the starter and she fires right up. Handling is sweet, it would be a great bike for living in the city, it is as if it can read your thoughts and just go in that direction. There is no thinking about counter steering, lean angle etc, just look where you want to go and that’s were she goes. I am a little disappointed in the lack of dealer accessories, if we were in Japan there would be tons of options. Also, I could not find a forum dedicated just to the TU, but there is a yahoo group that is somewhat inactive.

This forum is great. I just changed my oil using the directions posted here, thanks to whoever put that up. I also want to get familiar with the valve adjustment procedure; the TU only has 2 valves to adjust. Lastly, I wanted to get an idea of how much severe service I could get out of this bike without worrying about problems. From what I can tell, 500 miles on the superslab at 70mph is out of the question. I guess I will stick to the back roads.

One thing I am not getting with this bike is peer acceptance from my so called friends. They are mostly Harley and Metric Cruiser riders. Does anyone here live in the DC area and want to do some riding? PM me off forum if you want to meet up.

Let me know if anyone has any specific questions about the TU, and if anyone is interested you are welcome to take it for a spin.

Thanks
