I have owned my 1995 ntv for 14 months , i have done 5000 miles since i bought it . It has never let me down , failed to start or given me any moments of regret. About 50-55 miles to the gallon petrol , oil comsumption is negigble , in fact only thing i have done is clean it and put a drop of brake fluid in rear.As a born again biker i am very pleased with my choice of bike. I am about to give it a full service , and have found all bits , oil filter air filter etc are very reasonbly priced. A great bike to own.
