My First Bike

I bought one of these when I was 16 yrs. It went like stink, handled terrible and vibrated when I braked hard from high speed. I loved it.

I can still remember my first insurance costing £33 third party for 12 months. Even then it seemed cheap. If I had space for a second bike, I would have this in the blink of an eye.  :auto-dirtbike:

That's a new one to me. I was 9 when that came out, but I'm sure I've never seen one round here.
Fully tin-shrouded forks and a lovely tls front end. And those great big screws to get the side panels off.
Don't get one, if it didn't live up to memories / expectations, you'd be gutted. And out of pocket.
