The tyres are tubeless, the seat to peg is the same as my Innova, initially the engine is tight and about the same as the Innova, but having run it in it is quicker than my FI Innova.
I have now completed 2000 miles and I'm 100% happy with it, it goes out on Honda Owners Club rides and has no trouble keeping up with their pace.
Now its having to work for its living, petrol consumption is about !60-!90 mpg, 200 is still possible on light throttle, the most important thing is the engine is so smooth, I've fitted mirror extenders and ride at 50-60mph so its usable on motorways keeping a rear view for any fast lorries coming up, but most I can run with.
It is made in Italy, I've had a few bikes from that factory and quality is good.

Mirror extenders. No more shoulders in the mirrors. A great safety aid.

Yes they do, but on balance they are worth fitting.

Sounds really good.....it would be a toss up between one of these and a c125. The large tank sounds fantastic. I love my inj innova, but always wish the tank was slightly larger.

I've moved the gear lever up one tooth on mine and Pete's bike, you should have done it for him, a man of your calibre should do it in a minute. :lol:
