Full review

Well, where do I start. This bike is not for the fainthearted! Drop the clutch in at 4th gear and it still boasts enough power to get a wheelie going!

I paid £3400 for my bike back in 2005, and since then the bike has had no problems whatsoever. The only things being the chain and the sprockets that wore abit due to this bikes power.

This bike is rather heavy, and feels heavy when ridden. It is also very loud, so not for beginners.

The engine runs very smoothly. Starts first time, EVERY time. Requires basic maintainance, which is easily done.

I would recommend this bike to many people, however, if your under 6'0 in height, you may struggle with this bike. It's meant for 6'0 and over to be perfect.

Also, do not buy this as a first bike, get a 125cc and then work your way up the chain of power. Honestly, this bike is worth every penny. A must buy!
