    good bikes fast but u fall of the parts will cost u a arm and a leg to replace and you got to find a good dealer or garage to do your electrics if they fail

    really nice alternative to aprillias that i find boring now, any garage you get them from should give you at least a one year warranty for the electrics, and if you ride carefully you wont come off, i admit they are a bit pricey but take care of this dream machine and youl easily get 1500 back for it, if you did buy one in the end, i just have and im waiting for it to get registered! how is it?

    i way 14 stone and mine on the flat will get 55-60, iv got 70 out of it down a huge hill!

    if you want to get quite a bit more performance out of it for instance 60-70 you should unlimit the revs

    I take it you mean kmph not mph. I've had my drakon for a year now, i haven't had any problems with it at all, i highly recommend these bikes. restricted and fully standard it does 40 mph, its in the garage now being derestricted and getting a new carburetor ready for a big bore kit so it should be doing a lot more soon.

    no i do mean mph, my bike when it was standard was not very fast so i had it de-restricted which did not interfere with the warranty at all and it is still valid now, you will gain an extra 5-10mph with the revs de-restricted, however this is dodgy on a fairly newish bike!

    mine has been sound ever since i have bought it, unfortunately i have to tell you guys that parts are an a pain in the backside to get, mine has been at a malaguti dealers for 2 weeks now and they still haven't received the parts!

    Got the bike back today after being derestricted.

    It goes up to 50mph now and will sit a 50 comfortably.

    But what really impressed me was the drastic change in its acceleration, it caught my of guard a little bit at first. For a 50cc bike its crazy! Very Happy
