Hi Kenny. I've had A 535 for about a year now with no probs. A few points I find annoying are the position of the ignition, no rev counter and no main stand. But all very minor stuff.
I find the bike a bit tame compared to some other bikes I've ridden but handling and reliability are good. Certainly a good bike to progress to from a 125. Dont know how it compares to the 650 dragstar though.
Hope this is of some use to you.
