Advantages MPG, Easy Handling

Disadvantages Slow Speed, Styling

Bought a cheap 1994 reg SR for £475, 26K on the clock.
Perfect for learning & gaining confidence for the test.

Certainly not the fastest bike you'll ever ride - struggles to mid 50's (but quite pokey at 0 - 25 mph)
Nice & comfortable, good for short people as the seat is pretty low. All the controls are easy to reach with gloves & the minimalist speedo unit is ok - wish it had a fuel gauge though.

Holds itself quite well at slow speeds, so will be ok for U turns & cone work in the test.

Does around 70-90 mpg round town, tank will last for approx 100-120 miles. Less than a tenner to fill up too!

Only real downside is the lack of speed & the 'trying to look like a cruiser' styling, though if you aren't bothered about looking like a boy-racer, this bike is great.
