Does anyone have experience of these, quite like the look and the auto appeals.

I don't but I was at the barbers possibly last year and they had a glossy magazine special or supplement on used bikes and it was mentioned in there as a bit of a bargain and I was unaware of them until then.

Looked at them for my wife who has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands and was struggling with a clutch. Its worked well and they are good value now but quite a heavy bike(for her certainly)

PHer WhisperingWasp has just traded in his Ducati Monster 620Sie and VFR with Completely Bikes in Hinckley. Scrolling throught their other items they have a low mileage Mana.

They've listed a Vitpilen 401 as a Vitpilen 701 and they're saying the new 2023 SV650 has a LED headlight.

I think you would be much better off looking at the Honda NC 750x with the automatic dct gearbox.

They are very highly rated and the modern dct box will be much better than the automatic version that Aprilia experimented with for a short period.

Also they are very reliable and supported by Honda quality and spares availability.

I own oned Aprilia and it was a nightmare finding a dealer or getting spares.

Mate has one. Loves his, he's added a rear hand (left hand side handle bar) brake lever (scooter style) and hydro dipped it.

He's had it for about ten years now and not had any issues other than seized pistons in the brakes (always over winter) and stty paint on the engine casings. Sounds good with a decent exhaust.
