Scooter Station didn't seem overwhelmed by it. Its sounded good, but not brilliant. I guess it depends on the price though.......

yeah, but if it was at a bargain price or the riding experience was amazing, I wouldn't worry much about the looks!

Bet it's clutch works properly though!
Regarding looks, I like it. It's not pretty but it's different and unique looking. So those who like to accuse the
Taiwanese of copying others have no ammo - Actually i'm surprised, no one's accused it of trying to rip off the
Burgman 650 yet...
Only thing thats really puts me off is it's weight and seat height. 280kgs dry, so thats nearly 300kg wet plus with
a 780mm seat it'll be harder to hold up at lights and filtering could be tricky.

Bloody hell, my Z1300 weighed roughly that and it was a huge monolith of a thing.
