Faults:

The fairing mounts were broken where it met the seat.

General Comments:

I bought one after reading many reviews in bike magazines that raved about it being a pocket rocket, that handled and accelerated really well, and traded up from a two stroke NSR250.

The handling was very good, although it was heavy.

Braking was excellent.

Styling looked good and the single sided swing arm looked the biz.

But the engine really lacked the power the bike needed to push all those 170kg's of weight around.

And the seat and ride position was not too comfy on long journeys.
