Yeah but that was the crap dealer not knowing that the Mana has a self diagnostic feature, and being a shop owner wanted to fleece me as much as he could in this recession, the only trouble my Mana is giving me now is the fact that it needs a new belt and sliders. Oh and the 3in wide flat spot down the middle of the back tyre (I can't afford a new one yet)

so did get that annoying imobilizer fault fixed,?
i would not buy a Mana because its not a motorbike or a scooter i cant make my mind up about em,
to my mind a motorbike has got gears and a clutch, i would not want or buy a motobike, with auto box and cvt
and before you say it hundreds years ago i had a scooter with gears much prefer the auto on gts

The 2 faults that came up on the dash were, 'Oil pressure switch' which I fixed and immobiliser transponder, but at £140 and my current employment status it will have to wait.

Not a bike. Not a scooter. Haha. It's a naked scooter. Ooooh how I would love to take one through our twisties. Oooooh I would love that. Auto in tight twisties, all the cornering, none of the gear selection, just smooth and fast.

If you had said spare parts may be expensive , and you may have to wait longer than normal for the parts to arrive, i would agree with you, but to say the bike is totally unreliable , the experience i have had with mine , i would say your comment is totally unjustified. icon_bleh.gif
