* something loose in the exhaust
* simple tech, easy to fix and maintain
* good handling
* Schuh mount and cases, looking not very stable but never let me down
* won't start if not used for 14 days. Also when temperatures below zero. Unfortunately the FT is missing the XL's kickstart. :-(
* pretty ugly :-)

* Hepco and Becker sucks - those folks even denied that there is such thing as resonance frequency, which was in fact exactly at 4000rpm, wenn the whole mount began shaking and buzzing

* Badly designed rear brakes, when heavily breaking<ref>Okay, by "braking" I mean: Drive downhill as fast as possible. Braking in the last moment until ABS kicks in. Repeating this for >40 turns</ref> (f.e. when driving down hill like at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stelvio_Pass Stelvio Pass]) the brakes fail
