I took my SC1000S on a 1000 mile trip up to King's Canyon National Park and it redefined how much pain I thought my back, wrists, and neck could withstand. It also is horrible in traffic, even with the slave clutch cylinder mod that substantially lightens the clutch pull.

But it is very, very pretty though, and there's nothing else quite like it, so I'd say if you don't intend to commute or tour on it, get it by all means.
