Only ridden them briefly, but I was in Blanco, Texas, a couple of years ago and saw four of them outside a restaurant. The riders had left San Diego a few days before and were headed for South Carolina, I think it was. They loved the bikes. one guy and his wife said they'd ridden 1900 miles around Europe the year before, and another guy said it was his third trans-USA ride, all on BFs. So they're serious equipment...
