History

After the Honda S600 was sold funds were limited but I still needed wheels and this was about the limit of the budget. I had quite a few miles on it when I purchased it and it had a few body nicks and scrapes but I was told ultra reliable!
A lot different to drive after the Honda, you really needed to attack hills and overtaking was best done down-hill, but it wasn't hard to find things to like about it; it would cruise flat out all day - around 70 mph (maybe 80 down a long hill).
Alas, it saw it's final days with a broken crankshaft, saw a quick repair and was traded-in on the next Honda.
