“First up is the look. I purchased this bike from new 15 years ago and I still love its looks. If I had a quid for every time some one said nice bike I'd be a rich man. If you want to tear up the bends then this is probably not the best bike for you but if you like a good old fashioned straight line blat off the lights then you won't be disappointed. I love the feel of this bike,well after 15 years it fits me like a glove. For a heavy bike it can be thrown around quite a bit and you won't get blown around by cross winds. I haven't toured on this bike and wouldn't recommend it for that although a better saddle might help. I have gone to change this bike several times and every time bottled out because I can't bear to part with it. I think that says a lot.”
“My second bike, I was a little unsure if I was doing the right thing buying it. A couple of miles into the first ride and wow!! I've not looked back, something to do with the G force lol.
My bike is second-hand and I happened to bump into one of the previous owners recently, he regrets letting the bike go and it's easy to see why. I'm having a blast.”
