“This bike was 11 years old when I bought it. One owner from new, 10k on the clock and not a mark on it. Including rack and luggage, at £3,400 it s worth every penny. Lovely ride too.”
“Fantastic machine, goes very well at speed and easy to handle at low speed. I would recommend the sprint as the bike to have for fun and serious touring.”
“Great all-rounder. A more sporty riding position than you may imagine , which makes it hard work on the wrists after a few hours, but good fun on the twisties!
Front break can get spongy and needs bleeding regularly, and under seat exhaust means the legs get a bit warm. Other than that it is the perfect compromise of performance and comfort , ideal for the rider who doesn't like to admit his sports bike days are behind him!”
“If you are looking for an affordable way to get a sports tourer then look no further. Got mine for less than a grand with full luggage. Handles well and looks good. Runs like a dream. Smooth three cylinder with fuel injection just eats up the road and track just like it was built to do. All the parts you will ever need are online.
Bad bits. Old ones have spongy forks. Front lights will need linking and super bright LEDs fitted if you plan to use her in the dark. Rear break might as well be a trainer on the tyre and your seat will need repadding.
Having said that, the good bits far outway the bad and you will find any excuse to be out and about.
Happy ridding everyone.”
