    well to be fair mate, if you have had one as a courtesy bike, then your obviousley gonna find out for yourself when you ride it

    theyre ace :cool: just ride it LOL its not your bike rag the shit outaa it

    me mates courtesey piggy zip came, we knocked the washer out of the variator, took it green laning, donuts for hours, burnout til it had a slick back tyre, it was ace

    itll handle same as any other once you get used to the handling, first time i rode me jog after getting used to aerox handling i nearly fell off on a roundabout. i rode me mates aerox 2 weeks back and it felt like a tank to ride :msn1:

    if i take the wasker out of the variator can anyone tell me if it will bugger the engine or not and wot sort of speed it will do. dont really want to be doin 30mph for the next couple of months while insurance decide whether or not my runners a write off.

    thanks

    i wouldnt mess with it, cos if you fuck it up then give it back then the next fucker with it could crash.
    and besides if you get caught you dont really want to pay to fix anything

    it'll be much more agile than the runner.

    seconded, if your worried about handling, you shouldnt have a runner.

    put it this way, you wont have to back up if you're pulling out a junction, jog's will take the corner normally.
