I will look around but I have heard great things about this bike, suspension I can sort/fix

Cheap and slow but that could mean the Bike for me.
Had a Suzuki DR800 (DR BIG) in the early nighties and loved it.
Thanks again.

Picked it up and rode 200 miles on it.
Love it, pops a bit and slightly jerky (i can fix those)

Wish I had bought one earlier.

That's a lovely, lovely bike.
Buy one, spend £3000 on it and you'll have a great bike. A top class all-roads travel bike and trail bike.
Spend nowt on it and you'll still have a good bike.
When someone knows how to ride one they are a weapon. But you need a bit of skill to get the best out of them on the trails.
