Just curious to see what kind of fuel consumption you / they get on the UK roads and how much they are to fill up. Quite fancy buying one and although i'm aware its not going to be the best thing on juice i'd like a realistic figure to base on!! I've spoken to people selling them and not sure how honest they are being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
Chris

If you could mate it would be great, ask him how much it is to fill up as well! I imagine around Ł100ish at the mo??

Wanted one for ages but kept putting it off and off so trying to convince myself!!!!

Mate of mine Del has a black one, such a novelty even now and he's had it nearly 3 years lol...

He uses it quite a bit and think he gets round 15mpg, but he won't work it out most of the time . Turn of speed on that thing still shits me up, you look around you and it just doesn't feel real...
