Petey,

Never had a problem with shaft drive... Had 2 of 'em. '82 CX500 Custom and an '86 Nighthawk S. Absolutely loved them both. Both were pushing or past 40,000 miles by the time I got rid of them, and not so much as a hiccup. I had less "jerkiness" out of those at low speeds than I got from the chain-driven bikes (especially the CX - really miss that one).

Good info! Like I said, I have no input on the shaft drives other than what I've been told...sounds like they are full of it, or too "sensative" ha ha.
