Good question!

I have a very short snag list, just 3 things to fix, or get better, ie twist grip effort is far too high, but then it is decision time.

Keep it and actually use the thing (original goal)
Sell for a fortune.
Sell for break-even, a far more realistic outlook.
I sold the gold one far far to quickly, really should have thought longer about it.

Not really sure what the wife thinks, but local bikers round here are scary, and drivers more so.

And that will be the hardest part!
But, you are totally right, but local traffic seem blind to bikes of any description!
