you could probably get away with re-selling it for more than £350 if you dont want to keep it

Hi

Be careful with one of those. Never ridden one, but from what I remember they had a habit of trashing the heads and cranks (they are basically just a bored out Z250 engine). The belt drive works well, needs virtually no maintenance but they tend to fail suddenly and cost far more than a chain (and you need to strip the rear suspension to fit a new belt). Basically they cost a bit more to run than a chain drive equivalent.

Top speed is a bit over a ton I think

All the best

Keith
