Fancied another stroker, so bought this very tidy low mileage tiddler recently.

Not too rapid (it makes just over 60bhp), but as it weighs about as much as a bag of sugar and sounds awesome betweeen 6 - 9k rpm, it feels involving enough :twisted:

Lovely bike. I've always fancied one of them but I'm - ahum "too big".

Had a couple a while back before they got too expensive. (Scratching the itch)

One had spannies on it and sounded beautiful.
Only reason I sold it was that on one ride when I was giving it some stick, I looked down through the fairing when breaking @99% and saw the front wheel move back a lot more than I was happy with. Realised the forks are just not man enough to handle the bike and a 15 stone rider. :oops
