It's actually not a bad bike. Behid the whirring 2 stroke engine there's a nice little commuter.
Why do I put 2 stroke in disadvatage? Well, they burn oil. Alot more. Still, overall not alot, but they still do. 2 strokes would never pass an emissions test in my mind. Also, they tend to 'die' quicker than most 4 strokes, at about 20000 miles instead of about 60000 for a 4 stroke. You don't get 2 stroke cars, do you.
It doesn't look to bad, providing you dont paint over the tank stripe.
Keep an eye on the air filter, they have a nasty habit of deteriorating fast. There's not alot else, keep it well oiled, in both oil tanks, and keep and eye on things like tyre wear and anything else in a Haynes Manual.
ALWAYS HAVE A HAYNES MANUAL - they are invaluable sources of faults, and save pounds on mechanics fees.
Fuel consumptions good, around 60MPG, better tha cars but aren't all motorbikes :-) Top speeds about 55-60. Absolutely nothing more. Ad this is with a following wind and a years diet!
If you were looking for a cheap little runaround, buy this bike or a CD200 Benly. (More on them when CIAO gets it on their Honda bikes list!)
