New Versys 1000 2015 looks pretty good.

But you still have to adjust it,lube it etc. shaft drive so much more convenient. Chain drive is the weak link on many bikes I think. No pun intended

I would NEVER have a chain driven bike again...

Belt drives are cool.  Clean, long life, adjustments hardly ever necessary.  Work great on cruisers, but unsure I would trust one to stay together  with the HP of the 1400, if ridden hard, like is normally done successfully, with the shaft drive.

As a 66 year old bloke that is not in the best of health, this girly man can handle a full sized bike perfectly well  . But an OVERSIZED bike is not so easy.
