    Bought second hand for very good price.

    Main dealers expensive, but good independant specialists can offset this.

    Handles well for its size, but then they raced the 850!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    2.0 can be a bit gutless unless revved. 2.5s are better.

  • Living with it
