I have the 700-4, good reliable machine. Love the fact that it is shaft drive.

The only downside to it is they call for oil change and valve adjustment every 600 miles. I do it myself, it isnt hard to do, just something to plan on if you are taking it on a long trip. Have the first service done when called for. Everything I have read says if the valves are gonna need adjustment, it is after the first 100 miles. I have checked the valves on 2 services myself and havent found them that bad off that going over would cause much harm.


There is no way to coexist no matter how many bumper stickers there are on Subaru bumpers!
