LOL, no

 

[DaveandJen]

Following on from two recent £30.00 lottery wins - I’m thinking third time lucky here and going for a battery powered pushbike.

No, I'm only kidding and yes it's a 790. It's a superb bike and we have had a 690 for 5 years plus tried the 390 for all of 208 miles. Weren't impressed with the 390 after owning the 690 for 3 years,probably due to less power but it did handle well. Didn't even run it in,so unfair to write it off. I was joking as @Yorick was talking of getting one,time will tell what the old goat has bought.

You have just confirmed that you are an old goat.

It's a Dulville - very practical.

I think I recognise names from MCNNinjas?

 

[Silver-Fox]

I’m looking around for a secound hand 690.
I was considering a 390 but think I’ll hold out for the bigger bike.

A nice C90 in blue.

This looks to me like a very good buy, I sold my standard 2012 for £3600 with 13,000 miles on it.

Couriered for around £180.
I'm sure there's a deal to be had as it was on the market in January when I sold mine.

I've got the 390 love it, would be nice if it were more powerful, but I'd probably get banned or worse
5 seconds to 60 so it's quite refreshing after driving a VW up.

Repeat until run in or you fall in the water.

@bigtree and @Richard and Ann

Thanks for the replies.
I had a CCM 404 and found it a little wanting, that ran the Suzuki engine.

I’ve got a CCM 644 which again runs the Suzuki engine.
I just fancy a bit more of a hooligan big but don’t want anything too big

Probably too much of a handful for @Yorick

I was, once again drooling over the Foggy Spitfire last weekend. What a lovely toy to have in the garage.

The order book for the new Tenere 700 is open, that looks a mega serious tool. Right size, right spec, just Right.

When I was 18 I had a Kettle. Now that was a handful
