We had exactly that vehicle and model year in the long wheelbase version.
Overall, really happy with it. Issues we had:
1. It’s not totally underpowered but the gear ratios are a pain in the ar$e. Going up a steep hill fully-loaded, you keep hitting the rev limiter in first gear, but can’t get the turbo to kick-in in second gear. Results in a lot of drive-it-like-you-stole-it action with the clutch…
2. The clutch slave cylinders go at about 120000km (82000 miles) so if it hasn’t already gone, it probably will soon. The cylinder is in the gearbox so changing it is ££££.
3. Timing belt change is at 150000km, so if it hasn’t been done already, it’s slightly over-due. Again, this is ££££.
Overall, pretty happy with it though. Ours was still going strong at about 240000km when it lost an argument with a snow-plough. Alas, poor Vanbert….
We now have a 2010 and it’s loads better. Extra 15bhp and better ratios in the gearbox makes a massive difference.
LWB version will take 6 riders and 6 bikes with one wheel off. SWB probably won’t!
