Just bought a 2006 model with 135miles on it for silly cheap money (£2300 inc luggage).
Yes it is a tad sluggish, but I have a fast bike for going fast on. it will keep up with traffic, ride over rough roads, and commute with ease.
The brakes are a bit soft, and the suspension is not up to modern offroad standards.
If you want a good value road bike, capable of going down tracks, and "an all purpose bike" great. Not as tough as a tenere admittedly.
It is a budget bike, but at a price which makes it worth a look.
You always ditch the exhaust for a produro one, and fit gpz cams
