ANDYROSE Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Me know nothing about these so can't tell you much, but the Used Bike Guide says... "..good for town work and the little legged, better styling than the dull SR, but slow." They list a top speed of 70 mph so that is about right. They price from £1550 for a C1 condition bike down to £850 for a C3 condition. Andy
