My licence restriction is up a week and I was going to test ride the Aprilia Mana at SMC in Sheffield but checked on the website today and they have took it off. Probally sold it.

i rode a mates cross runner t`other day it went like a train but i got soaked ,cold .. got back on the scoot and thought never again . scoots are far to comfortable to get me back on a naked bike again ..

That's fortunate, Funky's Nexus is a far better option!!

I thought that myself poldark. Just need some interest in my burgman.

Cross Runner? Is that the old model VFR restyled in a vaguely adventure bike style, but looks the same as the N700X? As opposed to the Cross Tourer which is a new model VFR restyled as an Adventure bike??
I don't understand Honda's model strategy at all.....

Don't dismiss the Mana still try a test ride if you can, it's all down to personal preference at the end of the day. It would have to be a brand new T Max 530 to tempt me away from mine, I've not had the grin factor like it on any machine since my Dragster. But then again I only had the Nexus inbetween but that was just a stepping stone.

Earl did you get your Mana mended ,

No have I buggery, I have one of the parts needed but not got round to doing it yet because I can't get the old part off. And i can't afford the other part yet.
