I-drive 5 (Performance Exclusive)

Love this bike, but about 32 miles into riding it the Dart 3 fork took a dive. Performance Bike replaced it with a new one so hope the next 32 miles will be good:thumbsup: and i only paid 825.00 out the door.

Do any of you think i over paid for this?

Don't worry if you paid too much now. Maybe there were better deals to be had, but so what. Just enjoy your bike, and if something breaks or the mood strikes, then upgrade. Just like everything else, someone always has something better or worse, and is smarter or dumberer (joke). It's mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter. This is just my personal opinion, but I think people in general are way too competitive about insignificant minutiae. Competition and striving to be better is healthy, but when it permeates every facet of life, it's unhealthy.

thanks for the input Chanorama... I love the bike, compared to my old bike (2001 idrive 6.0) this is a cadillac... lol

Looks like a fun bike. I've never ridden full squish, but I'm sure I'd ride a LOT more if I had one in the stable.
