Can’t wait for today’s “What am I going to have for tea, although I won’t tell you and I’ll change my mind anyway”.

Most reviews say that it's got a Chinese engine, "but don't let that put you off" "oh, and it needs servicing every 3000 miles". Hmmmm?, I think that alone tells me enough about the engine! Shame, as it's a good looking bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....I'm fine with 21's! I've probably had about 12-15 bikes with them. It's the 17's that are not a good fit for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then numerous Japs (which are easy to kick). Even heard of finding TDC, then tickle carbs, then go for it? No.....thought not!

Tell him @Clive look @Richzx6r we've hit a nerve mate.... last bike he tried to kick start he woke up in an abandoned village half a mile away ... the bike was still out side his house at home. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
