They are a lot of motorcycle for a reasonable amount of money and I want something reliable that I can just drag out of the garage and go . I have seen a few mega cheap ones now I know why they are cheap ! Probably got the same problem as yours . However didn't seem too scary to do and not that expensive to rectify so might be worth a punt . I've got a few old bikes and you usually have to deal with 50 years of bodging by PO s before you can actually fix any problems . Frustrating at times but rewarding when you manage to crack a problem . Happy motorcycling .
Arghh Chris you could have had mine I only sold it a few months back, sadly she was sat in the garage, taxed, insured and MOT'd but I hardly got to ride it and found last year I had only done MOT mileage so I put it up for sale and had many calls, she sold no problem.
They are a very good motorcycle but very heavy, and compared to many modern bikes they would not live with many quicker smaller CC machines but have lots of low down grunt, are generally 'bullet proof' and all I can say is that I liked the two that I owned, they get the thumbs up from me.
