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. |
