Good Points: Runs well, reliably, rarely if ever goes wrong, handles well, sporty look, comes with top box. Bright colours... you will certainly show up on the road! A decent bike for the price. Cheap to insure. Cheap to run. Excelent value for money. Parts are easily available.

Bad Points: Body work is plastic which (I feel) cheapens the look of the bike a little. Suspension is a little hard, riding on a rough surfaced road rattles you a bit! Companies like Swinton won't insure it as its not on their books, but Rampdale, for example, insure it no problem.

General comments: I took my CBT recently on this model of bike, I liked it so much we spent hours tracking one down, and traveled 100s of miles to buy a Sukida SK50...but well worth the effort! It ' s a chunky bike, so adults don't look daft on it. It handles really well, the breaks are responsive, it purrs and being 4 strokes, doesn't sound like a swarm of high pitched bees! It does struggle a little in hilly areas only reaching 20ish, and can ' t cope with 45 degree hills like I get near my home, but drives and copes well in town hitting just over 30mph, or 40mph downhill with the wind behind you! It ' s a smashing bike, and I am so glad I bought one, and am only parting with mine now as I have gained confidence and want to move onto a 125cc. It ' s an excellent 1st bike...I highly recommend it. And in truth...I'll be sad to see it go.
