Great video fixitsan..made me laugh. 61 this year and I have a ybr125 I used to use for local running about and squirting through traffic..should sell it really but it's gone to the back of the garage to be pulled out again when I can no longer cock a leg over a TDM (many years hopefully) so I can still tour. It intrigues me to do a tour at 40 - 50 mph on D roads at 120 mpg....

Having only had the briefest of rides on a Mirage 1200, yes it was fairly heavy, but the weight was high up and that made it a bit tricky to handle. Good engine though.

I met one of the designers of the spitfire a few times at Rivvy (Near Bolton) they have another model in the pipeline but he wouldn't say what it was, unless it was that bobber thing with white wall tyres.

 

Allen Millyard's Honda 6 was a beast, I follow him on facebook and it was def a labour of love

Mods; Oil pressure switch, neoprene rear inner mudguard, scottoiler, highway pegs,  fenda extenda, 1999 carbs and airbox, Kais suspension setup, later clutch springs, LED lamps, Metmachex swingarm, Hagon Shock, Oxford heated grips, 4 way fused accessory Bus, 17" 3CV front wheel, Michellin R6 tyres, GPS speedo, 5' ignition advance.
