Not sure about her protective footwear, I don't think those ankle braces are fully CE approved.

I saw one of those on the road the other day (the three wheeler, not the girly) and it looked.....odd.
Might be a bit of a chuckle to throw one around for an afternoon, but I'm not sure I'd want one full time. (Agian - the bike, not the girly. Mind you...)

Also its not a real bike .

Is this better?

As well as this Gilera one, Piaggio do various engine-sized versions.

125cc MP3 for town riding, anyone? If someone else gets one then I won't be laughed at.

I want an MP3... Last time I was in London it absolutely poured down, and I saw one in Camden, doing the corner by the lock bridge at about 30-35mph, leaned over as far as it'll go through about 4 inches of standing water, not a care in the world. On the SV I'd have ridden through that bolt upright at about 10mph =; Looked ace.

A lad around the corner has one of these, looks very strange but gets the imagination going on what it must ride like.

Grinch has a point, £4k will buy you a new sv650 ... or a 125 scooter, even if it looks really weird.

There are a couple in Derby that I've seen, one parked up and another that has been going the same way as me some days on the commute, and by christ can he filter, slices through traffic, I can't keep up with him lol

I saw one this morning and I really can't see the point... he still had to put his feet down when he stopped. Wouldn't mind a bash though.

Or you could just buy a quad? But they don't lean - so are much more dangerous & can't filter, in fact they are pointless!

I saw one this morning and I really can't see the point... he still had to put his feet down when he stopped. Wouldn't mind a bash though. See Northwind below. And you don't have to put your feet down if you engage the tilt lock when you stop, but that's far from the point of them.
