Bad Points: As said before it will not take an XL full face helmet under the seat. Mine failed MOT on rear shocks at 18,000 miles and they are £300 to buy and thats before fitting! Aparently they suffer exhaust problems too according to my honda dealer so beware.
General comments: Fantastic ride, easy to use. Was getting 150 miles for 7 liters of fuel. Goes well for a 4 stroke and will sit at 65 on the motorway. Ridden it 2 up and was still easy to handle. Brakes REALLY well you need it to especially with its combined breaking.
Prices holding well second hand for this fantastic bike and I can see why. I sold my Dylan for a Yam YZF600 and to be honest I do miss the practicality of this bike. There is a 150cc available but they are for other countries and I have not seen one for sale here. (shame)
The Dylan really is nimble and easy to ride, it does everything you need it to do if you have a rear luggage box fitted to store your crash helmet.
