You never fail to amaze me with the amount of 2 strokes you get.

Was it cheap like the rest of them?

I've never even bought a 4t yet (even to break/repair), ridden loads though.

Neither have I, but I haven't bought as many bikes as you.

I've ridden two 4 strokes, one was a Chinese scooter on my CBT and one was a GN125 on my test. That's probably the reason I don't like 4 strokes Laughing

Ahhhh, you have just brought back one of my childhood nightmares, 8 years old sat on the tank with dad (a complete lunatic on a bike) pulling wheelies all over the field.

I don't get on any bike with my dad anymore, he even managed to scare me on his Harley...

Thanks dude!

In ref to the gold tube, I heard about the BAS (brake assisted suspension system) when researching about the bike. Might be that? Aint proper looked at it tbh.

Haha, sounds mad that could only imagine what my young relatives would be like in that situation.

Anyone know where I can get a manual (without paying) for this bike? Trying to find the stock jetting settings.

Also anyone got any ideas on how much this would be worth? Don't see many of them about so.....
