Well here is the one my daughter decided she wanted...
https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto...1175025037
Pleased I persuaded her to go in this direction, think she'll be happy riding it, I drove it the 30 miles home last night covering A roads, motorways, and 30mph roads and I reckon it's well up for the job, fealt really good, nippy to keep up with traffic and at points pull away from them!
Overtaking those trucks on the motorway was interseting
Fast enough to get upto 70mph :eek bit scary but could do it downhill and wind behind me but would certainly sit at 50mph with no hassle at all.
Wee clean and overhaul at wknd and it'll be ready for her after she does her CBT on Wednesday.
Oh meant to say....will need to remember when I'm riding it that to go up the gears I need to press the pedal down at ALL TIMES, nearly ended up going over the bars when I didn't! :eek :lol
PS, didn't pay the advertised price, after a haggle we agreed on £570 plus a pair of leather trousers thrown in by the seller
