 PENTA's recommendation | |
Extremely reliable, trouble free, fantastically economic in petrol costs, fabulous commuter but also quite capable in longer trips.
Choke is difficult to find specially when wearing gloves. Its near the carburetor but you never "memorise" its location.
Have done with this little marvel 9300 kms (some 5800 miles) absolutely trouble free. Have been using it both with my wife and myself alone. Longest trip in "one go" has been Ciudad Real (south of Madrid) to Barcelona, some 900 kms (562 miles).
Have been myself alone to Madrid (630 kms from Barcelona - 394 miles) ) in one go, with due stops, for petrol and recovering a little, of course. And back. Trouble free, absolutely amazing voyage. Okay, you have to be patient and count that you will be driving 80-85 kms/hour (50-53 miles an hour). That trip to Madrid took me some 10 hours, stops included.
Amongst its regular basic equipment, you will find, amazingly for its price, a rev counter, a gauge controller (pretty reliable, by the way), a kickstarter (a luxury in present motorcycle industry development) a left AND right turn indicator.
Petrol consumption (unleaded 95) has been round the 3 litre/100 km (some 90 mpg - considering 1 gallon = 3.6 litre)
Have been changing oil every 5000 kms (3125 miles) and there has been nearly no oil consumption between changes.
Before closing would recommend it to you "with closed eyes", with NO hesitation. It is fun, it is economic, it is trouble free, it is prettily constructed, with quality materials and will give you uncountable hours of enjoyment and contentment. Besides all that, it is extremely beautiful
