Had my 12 for 5 years now, no major problems, just a new battery a couple of months ago. Not done many miles, 14,000, but it's still the only bike i want.
Mine is an 05 with 38900 on the clock. It's had a colourful past owned by one of the actors from THE BILL who shipped it to the US and took it all around North America and even has a stamp in the service book from IRON HORSE MOTORCYLES, TUCSON,ARIZONA. My only regret it was'nt me doing the tour
When I bought from the dealer it had loads of bits replaced and was like a new bike and the only problem I had since was the famous fuel pump controller replaced.
