Economy
Value
I paid £225 because i knew the guy who was selling it. It had 8 months tax and 4 months mot, so great for being a learner.
Costs
Relatively low, functions better with more petrol, as doesn't like an empty stomach.

On the road
Driving
Overall it's not bad, you can get it up to speed. Hard to do much more over 40mph up a steady slope in 4th gear. However, every time i go out, the engine cuts-out. I don't know why, neither does the guy at the garage.
Performance
Engine needs a jolly good thrashing in lower gears to get up to speed.

Living with it
Reliability
Will get you there just might be a little slow and might cut on you a couple of times.
Image
My girlfriend says that it's old skool, so i guess that means it's cool. SOUNDS AMAZING WITH GUNS N ROSES CRANKED UP TO 11!!!!
Comfort
Not too bad, bit small for me (6 foot, 2), fair amount of space in the back, though.
