It's my commuter, and makes the way home, and even my way to work enjoyable. The toughest part is the armored mesh jacket and FF, in 90 degree weather. Won't ride without them, though, hot or not. Rust in the tank; is that from ethanol in the gas holding moisture, or what do you think caused it. I looked into mine, and didn't see any rust. E10 used with every fill up. tp
