well after being begged to sell the leon to a fellow member :p i hadnt had an idea of what to buy but with rising fuel costs and being raped by the queen and using a car to get through rush hour i decided on a different route to save a few quid so i set about looking for something easier run , i bought this puppy tonight and have another car coming (tdi ibiza sport ) for the wife to do her test .ive had a bike license for 20 years this august but having family i had sort of wised up to the fact i now have responsabilities , its not fast but fun with a whole 60 bhp on tap and a noise that i can only describe as the grim reapers heart beat . courtesy of mr akrapovic twin system . its orange and black but comes with anthracite plastics too , had a map and filter

Carefully
I wasn't expecting something two wheeled - at least there's less to detail (y)

After trying your hand at detailing, its refreshing to see that you are now auditioning for Red Bull X-fighters! 'New whip'? I would say more like a few tail whips and a 'Super Man' to boot! lol

Nice looking piece of machinery though.

Wheelies anyone? :p

Hard to beat a big single for scooting in and out of traffic in town. The torquey motor will be ideal for commuting and pretty frugal too. Even with only 60bhp, I'm sure it feels very lively. Not designed for big speeds but at legal(ish) speeds I can imagine this will be a lot of fun!!

Up a tooth or two on the rear sprocket = :laughing:

was never bought for speed tbh , had fast bikes in the past but needed a hooligans bike
Fixed that for you! :p

I presume you've been going a bit mental in confined area's just to have a rake and a laugh like a naughty boy? :p
