Having said that I feel majestic every time I ride her and I have had no problems at 50 k.

The suspension and is very bad. The exhaust is terrible and the rear wheel Cush drives need replacing periodically.
I am not quiet shure which bike your are riding. My Z didn't have any issues since I bought it in June 2008. The suspension is IMHO good, the exhaust does what it's supposed to do. The cush drive rubbers are not a real problem.
The build quality decent. No significant rust at all.
And would I buy it again? Definitly yes.
