My ONLY concern with the beautiful Gen3 model is the electronics.
If the same ham-fisted electron monkeys that helped engineer the blasphemous Gen II had anything to do with the design or execution of the Gen3, then all bets are off.
Are the recall notices already pre-written, waiting to me mailed out to new owners? I hope not!
Wait a minute there. I thought all you die-hard Gen I Chicken Littles have already officially endowed the Gen III with your all-knowing dispensation. Let's see, the Gen II issues took, HOW LONG, to get sorted? I bought my '08 in 2009 and the spider issue wasn't evident until well after that. So, 4 years or so on that one...
Now, we have TWO WHOLE FORUM members with the Gen III, who are still figuring out which buttons to push, and it is already deemed the only worthy successor for you.
I myself would love to get a Gen III and probably will in a few years, once the INEVITABLE gremlins have been identified and solved by those lucky enough to get the bikes now.
