it rides real nice ,, Smile a very comfortable bike ,i am 6ft tall and i find it OK ,,its quite a long bike ,
and the engine is quite lively as well . it has a bit of speedo error
i followed the stream of traffic through a gatso camera and they where all doing 35 according to my clock , and i have gone through on my own at an indicated 35 and it didn't flash ..also it showed a top speed of 75 Shocked , but i would say 65 is probably closer to reality .
but all in all ,it seems a good bike . Smile

I keep seeing them every where and for the price I dont see why not.

Would make a good bike to run around on and save the big bike for later Thumbs Up Mr. Green

i had a kymco before this one , a very nice and well made bike ,it should be as it cost me £1800 ,and i was going to keep it for ten years ,but when i went to the dealer to get an exhaust ordered he told me he can't parts anymore as they dont import that bike anymore Crying or Very sad so what is the point in keeping them ,you get 3 years mot with a new bike , so i figure throw it away and buy a new one each time , Laughing disposable motorcycles ,,bit like the bic razor Razz

Tis a good idea.

Plus if you decided to sell it it would make an ace learner bike. So you will always have some one to sell them to.

Hmmm Im gonna look more into them. What are they like to register ?

i was worried about the register ,but it came with an EU certificate,
and the people i got it from sent me all the forms you need ,all i did was put my name and address birthday and sign it .
then i took it to local dvla paid £58 and it was done ,,but i had to wait for 4 days for them to do the paperwork .then they give you a reg plate authorization form so you can get a plate made up ,
easy ,the only thing to keep in mind with this bike is you dont get a warranty as such ,,only a parts warranty so you are on your own with it ,,spose that how the sell them so cheap

Can I break up this episode of Blind Date? Thanks. Wink

Speedos on those bikes are always out! Laughing The GS I'm learning on is a proper heap, and the speedo fluctuates pretty wildly, 10mph either way. Laughing You just have to go by what it feels like.

Nice bike though, and a perfect commuter I expect. However if you want to use it for 3 years, get out that WD40, because The Cancer is headed its way.
