I bought my 05 cityX brandy new.

I now have almost 16K miles on it. I replaced the front isolator last month, it was starting to go. Other than that, I have had no problems.

I put 13,500 miles on my '05 City-X in a year and a half. Only had to go back for tires and a TPS reset after I put the race kit on. Excellent bike!

They had the new design belt and pulley as well as the up graded bearings of the time.

I loved the one I had, I just wanted the Uly for the luggage and seat room for longer trips. About 300 mile days were my limit on the City-X, but then I'm gimpy and oldish.

Thats the thing with the CityX, you just cant pin them down .... and in my case, you cant keep her on pavement either

2006 XB9SX 27k miles 10k off road ; )
