Mike, its a bit early for me to buy one although I am desperate, can you tell me what it is like off road? Im a big lad at 6ft and 17st and wondered if the engine is slightly underpowered?

Cheers & good luck with the sale

Not underpowered at all for off-road. It has buckets of low down grunt, which is what you want, although fitting sprockets for an 'E' lowers the gearing and makes it more tractable. I've been riding it at 15.5st and had no issues.
