While the styling is okay, and it was marginally fun to ride when it was actually working... I spent more time fixing it than riding it, and spent more on repairs than I paid for the bike. | ||||||
| By far the worst bike I´ve ever owned. Something was always breaking, it never started on the electric starter, brakes were piss poor, the engine vibrated enough to loosen fillings, the bike handled like it had a hinge in the middle, the brakes were terrible, and it ran horribly. I was constantly fixing something that broke, and I replaced half the ignition system and most of the internal carb parts by the time I got rid of the bike. What´s more, the bike has the most anemic powerplant and vibrates like crazy. Steer clear of this money pit. |
