Default 18,000 miles and zero issues


Proof of 18,000 miles. Most are on the wonderful hill country roads west of Austin, Texas. I’ve owned it from March 11, 2020 and the 1st C8 delivered in Austin. Built February 5, 2020 day 3 of sold orders. Couldn’t be happier.

Nice. I love the roads out here in the Hill Country. We take rides a lot and it is great during Bluebonnet Season. They are blooming in a lot areas right now.

Thanks!

now THAT is the kind of post we need to see a lot more of.....thanks for posting the ultra positive experience you have had.....

we took our car and also trailered the bikes out west and stayed in the Hill Country for a couple of days outside of Leakey at a great resort on the Rio Frio. The Hill Country roads are great for cars, not so great for bikes.....in our experience. A really fun time.

It's hardly broke in. Give us a report at 50,000 miles
Most of the cars built in the world can achieve your
present mileage without problems.
Congradulations on being happy.
Good luck
