“Can't knock it”

written by Pcoster on 29/05/2013

Having sold my Speed Triple to help pay for a new kitchen I was missing the fun of two wheels and the daily commute on the train was a real pain and expensive. I wondered into West London Yamaha whilst the wife was choosing door knobs or paint at home base next door and 15 mins later had put a deposit down on a Vity...was I mad....I thought so....that was three years and 24 000 miles ago and the Vity has been fantastic.....I use it every day, round trip of approx 60 miles, part 3 lane A road but mainly through central London and it has not missed a beat....

It's been dropped, crashed, even caught up in the student 'riots' on Millbank, been ridden in snow, ice and all weathers and on all but two occasions got me home every time....fantastic....cheap to run, insure and service, unbeatable. My only minor complaint is the size of the fuel tank which means I see the attendant at my local BP frequently enough to exchange Christmas cards and family birthday cards, but that is due to the mileage I do.

West London Yamaha have been fantastic and the service excellent. All round a good experience.

I have sadly today 'upgraded' to a Cygnus X but the Vity and 24k I covered will always be remembered fondly. Buy one.
