Have heard that you shouldn't get one in any special paint schemes as the paint isn't up to much and doesn't last :shock:

Never ridden one, but felt very comfy (in an old fashioned Suzuki kind of way) to sit on. Handling seems to have a bit of a Marmite reputation ......
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

MK2's (2010 on) a whole lot better than the original. A whole lot of bike for £10495 new.Bit of a marmite bike that would probably benefit with a pro set up to get the best from it. Roomy and nearly everything is adjustable.
