It has eight previous owners and done 26'000 miles.

Over the last few months I have used the bike regularly, it has proved to be  reliable.

The bike as a overall package is very impressive, the performance is very good, nothing much below 6000rpm & then plenty of power all the way to 9000+ rpm, there are firms that supply a expansion chamber kit & a blanking kit which dispenses with the ATAC valves, which frees up a extra 15 BHP and more importantly 1500 RPM, I will be keeping the bike in standard trim though.

The handling is very good, the frame can easily able to cope with the power that the engine puts out, the brakes also are well up to the job, the bike is also very comfy, with plenty of room to move around (at least for a shorty like me).

One thing to think about  if  your  buying this bike as your only means of transport is the fuel economy, not too good, 30 to 35 mpg ,added to that fully synthetic two stroke oil £10 per Ltr, not a cheap bike to run, ( But dam good fun!).
