There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

It's also known as a RV125. I had one as my first geared bike, clocked up 10,000 miles on it and it was a good laugh. If I had the money I'd own another.

haha the good ole VanVan!

i regularly see one of those when visiting a couple of my "local" (25miles from home but closest) bike showrooms.

looks ridiculous, but in a very "i want to experience that" kind of way, what with the small rims, massive chunky back tyre, looks like it was made for going as the crow flies everywhere, whether it be roads, sand, fields, haha!!

VanVan... makes me
