Advantages: Cheap insurance, Economical, Crashes well!!

Disadvantages: No underseat storage, Small Fuel Tank, Slow De-restricted

Going to keep it short and sweet! Got the bike two weeks ago now and it has never missed a beat.
I brought the bike from a Honda dealer for £520 on a T reg with 680 miles on the clock. It was the same bike I used on my CBT but this one is de-restricted, although it only does 40mph. It is not the best looking bike on the road but it gets me around and I have had no problems with it.
I do have one or two complaints about it though, first of all it has no under seat storage so anything I want to carry has to be carried in a back pack, second the fuel tank is tiny, it costs me about £2.00 to fill the tank when the fuel light comes on but will only do about 40 miles till it needs filling up again. This works out about 100mpg, so it is good on fuel just needs filling up regularly. One other problem I have was when I was checking though the manual and the first 12 pages of the English manual was in a different language!!
I have had one accident on it when I slipped on a wet white line in the road when I pulled out of a junction but the only damage done was a scratched break lever a few marks on the rear indicator and front light it kept running and nothing needed replacing.
The insurance was cheap; I got it though Honda for £190 Third party only which compared to the RS50 where I was being quoted £500 I think is a bargin!
I would recommend this bike to anyone wanting to get out on the road but can’t afford to buy something like a RS50.
