Meldrew dear chap, now you're rubbing it in....I'm missing my original Helix, it had just one fault from brand new - if one let go the bars the bike always leaned to the left making it somewhat tiring on longer journeys, but with my other bike a '52 Sunbeam S8 I can let go the bars and it continues in a straight line, good old British bike!
My Burgman has 11,000 odd miles not 1100 which was a mis-print, of course it goes like proverbial S... of a shovel but it is far too heavy for me really.
Interesting to learn of the Foresight, I'd not heard of it before but it too seems scarce as hens teeth.
I'm wanting a Helix in good nick to ride, not as a project bike, my back does not take to bending like it used to.
