The early ones were beta testers. A. Roy had two 2012 models. I saw his 'West Coast' model here after his run. Highly modded with some S&S custom gear. Not your typical gear head. Steering was still stock but he changed the front wheels to 18 inchers so he could carry two spares and swap them out with out pulling the fenders off.
The S&S is rock solid as well as the Mazda gear box. Biggest maintenance issues on the newer models will be changing out the oil religiously on the motor and the bevel box as well as swapping out the tires. I would call the first set the learners set. They will go fast.
The rear sprocket has been improved to what it should have been as well as the compensator made by Centa. Everything else should do very well.
What the owner does is another thing entirely...
