Hey guys, I'm looking at a 2007 610SM to add to my toy collection and I had a couple of questions. I spoke with a local guy that owns a small shop and he told me that these bikes are unreliable and I should avoid them. He had an Aprilia 5.5 a few years back and although he said it was fun, I'd be better off with something else. Maybe a DRZ or WR Supermoto because of their high reliability (I just really love the looks of the Husky and the Aprilia though). The bike I'm looking at has 9,600 miles on it, aftermarket exhaust, jetted, etc.. He said with that amount of miles, it may be time for an engine rebuild/valve replacement. I have not asked the owner yet if he has maintenance records, but I will. Does anybody have any experience with these? How reliable are they? I just want to be able to get on it and ride, like I do with my current Harley and past sport bikes. Thank you!

"RoyalJordanian" on youtube has one. I think the only thing that has happened to it is a flat tire, lol.
