Got one

Speedo cables snap if you don't keep it oiled. Rear light bulb filaments keep popping. Apart from that ok. Mines been rolled and flipped and still runs like the day i bought it. Fitted a smaller rear sprocket to higher the gearing for improved cruising and a wide track rear axle and front wheel spacers to greatly increase the stability.

lammy lama, had no probs with mine as of yet, with a smaller rear sprocket, exhaust and a tune up you will see just short of 70 or there abouts, anything over 50 is fooking scary on those
