Hi Kane, I've been looking at this bike for my first vehicle seeing as though im 16 in 20 days. I'm getting it for £999 brand new, is it worth it? and how fast does it go? :) thanks!
@MrHarryA I strongly reccomend you dont buy it, Chinese piece of shit. Mines derestricted and still won't go faster than 35, i bought brand new for £900 in Sep, so far its had to have it's engine replaced, carb replaced, had 3 throttle cables in it, throttle body replaced, and now my brakes need replacing, also when it rains, it'll break down due to the crappy design of having the spark plugs right behind front wheel so when water hits it, that wets the plug and causes it to cut out.
If you find you can't repair it, give me a shout. I've got a Piaggio Zip you could have. No MOT (but it would not take much for it to pass). Just stood idle for the last 2 years.
Getting some transport is always good; gives you that bit of freedom.
Just take care. I used to be a motorbike courier in London many, many years ago; treat everyone else as potential idiots and you won't go too wrong :-)
@TruckingInTheUK Just over a month of having it, it's unrideable.. someone smashed into it while i was at college and left without any insurance etc, so it now only goes about 15mph and takes about 20mins to get to that speed.
