Great buy!! 👍 You'de be hard pressed to buy better for that money, pretty perfect introduction to bigger bikes too- just keep your head and ride safely!!😃

Thanks peavey. I have to say it rides lovley. It accelerates fast, like really really fast; insanely fast to about 95-100 but starts to run out of puff  over that, and its not very good on fuel either over those speeds. Its official top speed is 148mph; and no i haven't..and i won't. It seems to perform best in 3rd gear from 30-90 and will happily sit at 85 and return 49mpg.

I really would like an Mv Augusta f3 800. Thats my dream bike.

you might as well start climbing ladders if your riding motorbikes  ......be careful.....3 lads i grew up with all dead now from motorbike crashes(and they were good experienced riders too).....a few others who survived but with terrible injuries......my uncle came off a few times but nothing too serious (but enough to sell his bike after the second one)

You dont go into  these things without weighing up the risks dazmond. If you ride with the attitude that your invincible; or you feel like you have cracked it and your riding abilities are good; then you are not a good rider. Unfortunately; most old school riders are from that era of mindset.

A riders abilites are judged only on the conditions of the ride; and what the rider is doing at the time of the ride. So many people i hear whom know of someone who crashed because "a car pulled out in front of him" all could have been avoidable if they had a decent road strategy in place. Even if it was the bikers right of way, doesn't matter if they dont see you and you dont allow time ad distance to react with a good road strategy, you will always end up worse.

Speed and time is the number 1 thing you need to balance and get correct according to the conditions of the road traffic.

To liken motorcyle riding to climbing ladders is ridiculous. You dont go through nearly 2 grands worth of training to climb a ladder.

Even if it was the bikers right of way, doesn't matter if they dont see you and you dont allow time ad distance to react with a good road strategy, you will always end up worse. A riders ability is affected by a whole host of different factors:  Road surface condition, weather, Mechanical condition of bike, tyres condition, brakes not to mention the 1000's of idiots who either don't see a bike or think their Mini Metro is quicker.  You can have whatever road strategy you want if you meet a Di**head in a car you generally have no chance!!!

Speed and time is the number 1 thing you need to balance and get correct according to the conditions of the road traffic.  Very True!  You can never still account for everything unexpected

That is just todays prices gone mad it cost me a lot less than a £100 to get my full bike licence done in 1976 albeit I did have nearly 4 years experience of riding mopeds, and bikes + I had already passed my Car test

Think it cost me £200 in 1997. That was with the theory test and a few lessons.

2 grand is a rip off surely?
