i have the first gen v1k. just came back on thursday from a 4.3k km.. 8 days ride of roughly 8-10 hours a day. comfy as hell and bike didnt skip a beat. zero issues while simply cruising, speeding or even rempit-ing in the middle of outer bangkok traffic.

my riding buddy for the trip is on a 2nd gen v1k... he just turned 100k km on the odo on the way back from the trip.

all the generations of v1k has the same chassis and engine iinm. maybe some updates on the suspension. oh n gen 2 above has better engine mounts for reduced vibration. so mine will vibrate more than any other generation.

its a mile muncher thats still very useable as a daily ride. get it if thats ur purpose.
