I have not ridden a bike in too many years ( decades even ) but now have the time and inclination to return to a bike I never owned, but wished I had. I have been trying to read up on the above bike, there seems to have been some manufacturing outsourcing to other countries for this bike ( Brazil ? ) and if so, are they as good ? If not how do I tell where it came from without s/n or similar. One comment I saw said they often stalled in the rain, surely not ? If I get to viewing a possible bike, does this model have any specific quirks I should out for ? A few adverts seem to offer very low mileage < 20k, for something approaching 17-18 years old, is this normal. I hope to become a regular to this forum, probably on the technical pages before the end of the year! Cheers.
