This looks decent

[MrGrumpy]

If it's a piaggio unit, which it looks like it is, it'll be 23bhp. My old x8 250 (carb'ed) would acheive 88mph quite easily so I'd imagine this one would be similar, not that I want to split hairs or anything. I always knew this bike was a re-badged malaguti madison. Still seems really good value.

Is that a real speed or a Speedo speed??? Italian speedo used to be famous for their optimism - one example I read about on a a Gilera was an indicated 92 being a real 78. Of course, these days, the Japanese have joined this game as well with the Tmax mk4 reading outrageously optimistically at all speeds - the mk6 seems slightly better, at low speeds anyway.

I almost fancy dipping my toe in and getting one of these, but I always keep hesitating.....

I know what you mean, however, I just noticed that you can get a brand new Peugeot Citystar 200 with a whole 25bhp approx for £3700, which would seem like a better idea to me!

PS the Citystar, just noticed that the ABS model is £200 more.

C'mon Spanish speakers, how do you say Rieju properly? Ray-hu?? Ree--hu???

I wonder if there is a proper way of saying it "The name RIEJU came from the first letters of each of their surnames (RIEra + JUanola)."

And 3X don't want to sell any anyway, at least going by my experience with multiple dealers.
