Hello there, so far it's been pretty awesome. Once you're comfortable with the kick starter, it's two kicks to get going in the morning and then one kick for the rest of the day, I’ve got it so I can kick without the side-stand down and with a passenger on-board.
So far I’ve been using it as an all rounder in London and further a-field and just did 4 days in the south of France with it. Did a bit of gentle off-roading and one small spat of less-gentle 2-up with my girlfriend (she's only small though, 47kg). For the main riding I used Metalmule panniers with stuff for the both of us for the 4 days and it went really well, no complaints. I use a sheep skin type thing that comes from underneath a horse saddle for a bit of extra comfort on the seat which after an hour can become a bit hard, and this works fine. I’d recommend it as a great all-rounder, suspension is excellent, can't say I miss the electric starter. Motorways are a chore though, so avoid if possible, but that's not what you buy one of these for...
