I had a play on one. It's cracking little engine but I found the front suspension horrible. Hard but still bottomed out on really quite small bumps. I believe major improvements can easily be made for little cost though. I'd have one as a spare bike but they're a bit too rare for the price to be right for me at the moment.

I'd be very interested to hear how you get on with long term use.

I find the from end a little hard too, but I thought it was my weight with it bottom out lol, rode it now for a 2 weeks,
The chain makes a hellish noise but told all common on these,
It's lovely and light and with the right gearing could take you miles and miles I just use it for round town as to revs a bit hard when out the town, again change gear tyres and it would be better,
It's comfy and the little 200 engine just plods along lovely using hardly any fuel
