Nothing to complain about then. lol.
My old XR2s were great, simple 1600cvh on a carb - nothing to go wrong, never broke down over many years use.

3,500 miles in the ST200 and nothing as yet... however, its going to need the aircon re-gassed and a service sooner rather than later cause I've not really touched it since buying in March.


Cheers,
Grant
