Security and Service
Security
Absolute rubbish, caught two scruffy little blokes in it they, got what they deserved let me tell you. Put your own alarm on it a good one though it's worth spending the money on because the scallys love them
Service
Expensive do it yourself buy a manual and learn even go on a college coarse, because it will save you a lot of money.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Very reliable its got a little flat spot before 3000 revs, but you can buy a power boost valve for about £80-£90 pounds and that sorts it out even improves power and response.
