Picked this up for next to nothing and to be honest, aside from lack of speedo, its a superb little bike!

Aaaaargh quick get it out of the rain, its gonna dissolve! Laughing Laughing

Naa those Keeway's aren't as bad as some of the other chinky shite, change the oil and put a proper plug in it and it'll be fine, oh and maybe change the exhaust studs now rather than battle with them later when they rot away.

dafuq, how does that work. Bars + bar ends + grips cant be more than £40, 2 hours to fit £80. Value of the bike must be ~ £600 so thats ~£500 dealer price for the clocks

Yeah.. but.. tomorrow I'll show you a picture/video of the rear brake set up. It's bad Laughing

Works ok though, gear changes are hard as they must imagine kids with size 5 feet buy these bikes.

Oh and you need to fold the peg up to use the kick start.. Uhuh, genius.

The brakes are weird, it's like they mixed them up at the factory and put them on the wrong way round, but surprising to see a chinese bike with front & rear discs considering the bike they ripped off has a rear drum.

No,

Cat C is uneconomical repair.

Cat D is when there are other circumstances which bring value above the cost of the bike, such as a young rider claiming on his own insurance, wanting a hire bike etc, where the cost of the hire bike for the time period is going to be more than the value of the bike etc.

Or maybe the cost of assesors and storage while claim is ongoing if it was recovered will put the value over the cost of the bike.

Strange looking machine, but if you got it as a cheap commuter, cannot complain.

Didn't buy as commuter, have Varadero for that.

Bought as I've become a dealer and this has max profit written all over it.
