It was a good 'old' bike, very faithful and adequate for a beginner, one broken mileage cable and nothing else had to be replaced, besides oil and filter changes.
After I become more experienced and made a few trips I realized that I need a touring bike which is more convenient for longer distances, an Adventure bike that feels good, even when I go off road, so after a year I sold the Dragstar and bought the KTM.
This was a very reliable bike he made his full depth on any journey. Now it's in the hands of another owner.
