My Monkey Bike

 

100+ mpg
£19 per year insurance
Road Tax exempt

Slow acceleration  and much mechanical thrashing sounds for 40 mph. But, a good fun bike.

Model : ST50

Bought from a good friend in 1996. Basically just needed a bit of engine work to get the best from it  - But even so, its still too slow to sensibly mix it with mainstream traffic. Its novel and attracts attention wherever its parked. It was the blue metallic colour before having the re-spray in black. One day I might consider a re-spray back to a near original colour as well as a engine hype & 12volt electrics (the lights are grim at best)
