Well, when Torque said the con rod was made of cheap pot metal, that started a turning point in my thinking. I've wanted 1 of these bikes since they 1st came out in '86. I have to pay cash (bad credit history); and, this summer looks good for finally making the purchase. But now, I'm having serious doubts. Maybe a V* instead; but, some of those have had driveshaft failures (as have Volusias). Haven't heard of any problems at all with the Aero 750. And, there's always the Sporty; but here, you pay an extra $2500 in dealer fees. Heck, I could get a used Savage for that. People put down the old Limeys as undependable; but, I never had 1 problem with my BSA, Triumph, or Norton (except the Lucas electrics in the Bonnie). I can get a cherry 750 Norton for $2200; maybe I'll do that. This whole scenario is very disappointing, with the "supposed" Japanese dependability.
