Like country sailor I have had my 650GT ABS Wee strom for around 18 months. I brought it as a pre registered in December 2010 model with 0 miles on the clock in June 2011.
Never had a problem with it that's down to the bike. I have dropped on once on each side while standing to one side of it (ie not even the engine was running).
The bike has now got just over 14,000 miles on the clock and is going strong.
Not sure about the ABS, its cut in once or twice, but on a few occasions it has activated when on the brakes if you hit a bump. This can be a bit unnerving to be honest.
By and large though its the bike that gets wheeled out of the garage the most, be it for commuting, Saturday afternoon rides out for for holidays.
