    I have been saying this for years but i have always found that since the death of the 2-STROKE 125cc motors like the typhoon's runners sr's and dragsters' the scene and market has gone down hill very fast....The fact that these scooters are getting rare now these days with less and less numbers each year now you just aint getting the same amount of people bying aftermarket race/tuning parts no more hence a load of shops going under...Years ago in the late 90's and early 2000's most scooter shops would be making a killing and did from selling parts and doing tuning work for the scooters above in 125cc form but as now they are getting rare with less about shops aint making cash and no one is getting work done to there scooters in mass number like a few years back hence shops going under a lot these days....

    Pity really, another shop going down the swanny. Felt bad seeing a closing down sale sign on my local but fortunately it's just their stock, so they'll still be up to stuff in the back, but yeah with the loss of 125 2 strokes and now 50's are getting targeted too this could spell the end of shops and the home tuning. :(

    NOW I AM THINK ABOUT IT THE RUNNER DOESN'T HAVE ANY ---LOG BOOK---. SO I WILL TAKE £100 FOR IT... IT DOESN'T HAVE THIS BECAUSE WE BROUGHT IT FOR SPARES OR RACE BIKE
