Rex, If you do go for a look, please tell us real size of the back tyre the quoted 130/80/12 has me intrigued.
Cheers, Robin.
I hadn't noticed the 12 bit, was shocked enough at the 130 section for a modern bike! My lad's Aprilia 125 had a 150!

Horses for courses I guess.
As cheap and economical transport for a commuter or student they fill a gap, for a while.
Both my sons commute on their 650 Kawasakis and save between £8 (cheapest) and £25 (dearest) a day to park their cars in NCP central Brighton car parks.

Think you will find it a bored out version of the old AJS Regal Rapter DD250E-9B. The engine in the 250 is in fact a 234cc twin with all the insides the same as the Honda Rebel but with water cooling.
I have the 250, a 2006 model, and although I don't do a great amount of miles it has always proved to be a reliable and consistant performer. A few small niggles over the years but nothing that couldn't be fixed witha little bit of thought!
I would sum it up as sound engineering but back in 2006 the attention to detail was not at it;s best. Things have improved now I understand.Edited by - stevewatkin on 19 Jul 2012 9:24:51 PM
