So, what do I think of this Bike ???

Bought this one from Costins Motorcycle on the London Road.
 
Had a few issue with it. Kept getting small electric shock from the handlebars. Eventually the electric melted on the bike. It was a fault charging system.
I took it back to the Bike Shop but thay just went down the route of, "Well the warrenty was only 1 month, you should have brought it back to us earlier". Unfortunately, in those days I had no idea of my rights. So, believed them.
 
I've never been good with electrics but as I could afford to take it to a garage. It was several trips to the breaker and fair bit of the blind leadingthe blind (there was no google or youtube in those days). Eventually, it was fixed.
 
This experience left a sour taste in my mouth. I never brought anything else from Costins and couldn't wait to get rid of this, particular, bike.
 
Luckily it didn't dampen my passion for Yamaha RDs or 2-stroke.
