    Does anybody know owt about these regarding reliability & build quality and ease of use. My brother is looking at one for his first bike after passing his test and I would rather get the view on them from here rather than review sites.

    Great bikes by all accounts.... Not cutting edge against its peers but a good bike none the less .

    Superb first bikes ... Based on the TT600 with inline four engines ... What do you need to know?

    The wife had one for four years...

    I know someone who had one for 3-4 years. Good bike - nice looking also.

    Yup, I had one for 3 years.... Fantastic bike. Handled like it was on rails, decent torque for a 600. Big too, very comfy to ride all day. I thought it looked fantastic ( in yellow) and I got comments wherever I went on it. Great build quality, apart from the bolts which are made of cheese, but I replaced them with stainless ones.

    Servicing from main dealers is a rip off, so do it yourself, it's an easy bike to strip down.

    and, I was waaaay quicker on it than I'm on the blade... It just felt right. It's worth investing in a GPR damper for it, they work brilliantly on the Daytona.
