Classic model with bodywork intact. Handling is smooth and refined, engine puts younger models to shame, but benefits from firm control.
Who am I kidding? 50 quid scrap |

See - all these big, slow revving, lazy engines..
What you need is a lightweight, multivalve, inline.
Insane power to weight ratio yet uses fuel well.
Low maintenance but the ability to leave you going WTF!....
2 wheels to handle the curves |

Mr EllieBelle:
Good example of this sporty classic with good bodywork considering the age and polishes up quite nicely.
Surprisingly reliable with no mechanical defects and runs as sweet as a nut once warmed up, despite having gone round the clock a few times.
Performs well for an older model, quite nippy, speedy and nimble with firm but comfortable suspension.
The only things missing are a spare tyre and the manual.
Full service history and one careful owner (plus a few not so careful ones). Recent MOT and taxed (to the hilt). |

Can't remember where I saw it to be honest.....looked up loads of his stuff a while back....fell in love with his gibberish talk after listening to the small faces' album 'ogdens nut gone flake' on which he appeared on the last half (on side 2 if you had it on record) as role of storyteller, weaving the songs together with parts of the story the whole side tells.
What a strange and brilliant album that is..... |

Traded in, now I'm a big 'fuck off' chopped Harley with ape hangers, quite content to cruise along on my own listening to the roar of muscle between my legs taking no notice of other road users |
