I bought one of the last ones brand new in 2001.

I thought it was a great bike, and great value for money....

....right up until the point at which it completely failed to take a (not very fast) left hander off a roundabout.

Result - one written off TL and one broken hip socket.

Still not sure what happened - could have been oil, diesel, whatever.

Conclusion - great bike within certain limits - trouble is, you can't be sure where the limits are.

Just my 2p worth
