this ugly little mongrel, the bean flickers favorite, has been around for 20 years now.

Just got one for the Mrs

hate to say this but its one of the nicest bikes I've ridden in ages

lovely riding position, punchy engine and good solid feel

I had one for about 2 yrs. I fitted an illegal exhaust and must admit it sounded bloody superb ..... especially in tunnels.

In fact when I sold it, it was stood in a courtyard and as soon as I fired it up the rumble in the enclosed space was so loud the bloke agreed to buy it there and then without even sitting on it.

I sold it to buy my first BMW, a 650cc Dakar.

i was nodding til the "punchy engine" bit.
i've ridden a couple and thought the engine a huge disappointment.
so much so, it put me off the bike completely.
was it just the ones i rode? :nenau
