A Friend has had one since new, think it's a 99 with newer mods it's done a few miles and still looks ok
It's a retro but reliable and cheaper than the new bonnie, it's not powerful which is a good thing as the brakes are not the best but having been following (not chasing) it's a nice comfy bike that goes around corners happily. he's been to france on it too !
Only thing is, he's a throwback to the fifties and insists on an open-face helmet (with white biggles scarf) and the turn-up jeans etc
