There is a couple I see around here, or maybe it’s the same one. Either way that one seems to have just about al you need. Chain looks grubby however. Have they electronic dampening suspension? That one has a sprocket change on the rear at least, so may be down geared perhaps. I’m not sure if it’s had a fancy gel seat either? Looks a good alternative to the mainstream other makes. I reckon there is good haggle room as it’s not run of the mill too.

thanks for replies. hemi's was the one, after i read that i clicked buy now. but in all seriousness, im a sport bike rider first and foremost and wanted something to take passengers, i sold my speed triple as that was useless for it. i tried a zx12 with the mrs but that was a no go so i have given in and started looking at these flat back pizza delivery bikes, i have never even ridden anything like this before so I'm actually quite excited to give it a go, but i cant find any near me for sale, i just wanted to ask in case anyone had one now or in the past and was going to say something like "Jim they are pure crap avoid" most of the video reviews i have seen on the tube praise it quite high, the trick front suspension look amazing.

Mate had one. His missus hated it, couldn't get her feet on the passenger pegs comfortably. Panniers made it awkward. He quite liked it, but chopped it in for a Multi 6 months later.

Al I know about them is what I've read in road tests, which can be summed up as really comfortable on all types of road, but thirsty if you use the performance. I don't know how reliable all the electronic gizmos will be, but the engine is presumably Rotax-based and therefore pretty solid.

I think the new Capo uses an Aprilia designed and built motor. The early versions used the Rotax though? ------------- href=" rel="nofollow - |
