“Got straight through pipes and she roars like a bigger...”

Good Points
Good looking bike. Looks bigger than a 125cc. Really comfy rider position. Striking colours, blue and silver. Not too light or too heavy. Ideal to learn on.

Bad Points
Prone to rust on some of trims. Problem to start sometimes but that's probably due to straight through exhaust.

General Comments
Got straight through pipes and she roars like a bigger bike. Get lots of admiring looks from people around. Seat good height for people of shorter stature but I bought her from a man who was well over 6' tall and he said he was quite comfortable riding her. Have had this bike for nearly two years and I ' m still proud to ride it. Mine on a '51 plate and still only has just over 3000 miles on clock. Might even keep it when I pass my test. Reliable runner and easy to access all areas for maintenance. Recommend to anybody. Excellent value for money. Lovely little bike. A real pleasure to ride. Parts can be difficult to locate, but I found what I needed on eBay. Spares or repairs.
