Super tens
I had a 1990 with 28000 miles, stainless system, braided hoses and tall screen. I bought it with no tax or mot for £500, straight through the mot, happy days.
I used it all the way round ireland, just under 2000 miles over 2 weeks, 2 up fully loaded with rain every day!
Fantastic bike in my opinion, fast (130), smooth and comfortable. Rode from anglessey to Swindon in one hit, approx 400 miles, only stopping for fuel and was able to walk at the other end!
Fuel economy isn't great but it depends on how you are riding and what you are carrying of course. They are known to have problems with the emulsion tubes in the carbs causing poor starting and bad economy. Simple enough to fix, £45 and half a day if you are a bit useful. Also valves need shimming around 30k, depends on how it has been ridden and looked after but worth checking if they've been done.
All in all i'd reccomend one, much cheaper than an africa twin and just as useful. Probably not the best thing off road unless you are big enough to tell it what to do, heavy with a full tank.
Wish i'd never sold mine!
