Thanks Capitano. Yes that's useful info alright. He's got a manual with it for servicing the bike and a full parts list. Spoke to him last night, he's actually got a few more miles on it than I thought with over 15,000 miles on it in just 2 years. So far no issues. It's just about out of warranty now so it's going in for a service next week, and the next service after that I'll be doing for the price of a pint! In spite of the bike being used in all weathers it's got no rust anywhere. He cleans it once a week religiously though using the sort of chemicals I use on my Vespa. He gives it a proper detail clean and enjoys doing it. Kinda looks brand new still. Motor runs as sweet as a nut, uses no oil and doesn't rattle. Only gets around 90mpg though which for some reason worries him. Thinks he should get much more, but I said nah! He cruises around 55mph most of the time and it's a very big bike for a 125. Almost the same size as a Vstrom 250 I'm guessing. It is extremely comfortable even for a 6.2" bloke like me and I don't look a twit sitting on it.capitano wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:08 amJust a couple of amendments. I wouldn't normally bother, but if you are looking after the bike in future, they may help.
The Terrain uses the ZS125 motor, the same as the Sinnis Hoodlum and Akuma models. The ZS125 is based upon a Yamaha YBR125. It isn't exactly the same. The Sinnis Apache and Blade use the Suzuki GS125 based motor that is virtually identical to the Suzuki one. Might help if you are looking for information for servicing.
The headquarters are in Portslade, near to Brighton on the coast. It's a couple of miles from my house.

Re: Royal Alloy gt300
Maybe I should swap the Tmaxs for one! Some minor bits of the Tmax rust far too easily, and the centrestand is turning crappy, despite my efforts with ACF50!

Re: Royal Alloy gt300
To be honest, you could do worse Grumpy! I've even been thinking I'd like one myself. But then the Vespa is my pride and joy even after 3 years, and that doesn't have any rust either, although the centre stand will likely need to come off this summer for a rub down and respray. It's a common issue on all bikes really no matter what you do to protect them. They are after all out in the thick of it regarding road spray and stone chips etc.
