I absolutely love my Skipper when it is going, i find it easy to ride, i think it looks nice and even had a thumbs up by a kid that saw me on it he said "nice bike". it has loads of storage which is a big plus for me,although the underseat is not quite big enough for my helmet, it will fit in the backbox and the backbox comes as standard. But beware it is cheaply made to the extreme, i bought the warranty (thank goodness) and it has probably been in the garage about 6 times in the 18 months that i have had it. The clock on it is as useful as a chocolate teapot, i have had it replaced about 3 times and now it has gone wrong again i wont bother ...

OK but get rid at 3 years (120 words)

Smart looking bike Cheap 4 stroke Does 60 mph Nice ride Plastic body is held to together with fixings that are rubbish The exhaust get rustier than the titanic and fast, then costs £140 Good for commuting as it goes well and has good protection Something was never quite right with the engine, difficult to put finger on. After three years (end of warranty) the reliability got so bad I had to change it. Owned for 3 and a half years approx 17000 miles. If you're buying one make sure you take out the 3 year warranty, otherwise you're sunk. ...
