I really cant understand anybody going near them with the amount of negative information out there about them, you only have to go to any road forum or google it to see this for yourself
Add to this that there are better off the peg bikes available, OK i admit for a little bit more money but at least you will have a bike you can ride with some confidence that they will support you down the line with any problems.
Sorry, i should be more sympathetic but i think its a case of more fool you.
