  1. Perhaps move beyond dial up?

    Not on DuckDuckGo for me, perhaps upping to a browser from the 2000's might improve your user experience?:)

    No ads on my browser other than YouTube, but through this forum YouTube no adverts.

  3. I only had the Yamaha ad not those on the periphery..

    I am tempted to buy the roadster though.
     
  4. My first thought was Italjet had been bought by Suzuki!

    I'll let you know what I think about little wheeled bikes in a couple months when I've ridden the Monkey a fair bit. At 60+mph it already seems like enough on UK bumpy poorly surfaced roads, and thats from a 125. The need for a 400 -muchless a 700- eludes me right now!

  5. Small wheeled bikes on a short wheelbase aren’t that great to ride long distances, they’re too cramped in my experience.
    Might be a better experience on something with a longer wheelbase, but I never did manage to get my Lambrettta on the road back in the day.
     
  6. Funny you should mention it, I've extended the wheelbase adding a +10cm s/arm together with a pair of 10 inch alloy wheels. Not a dramatic change, but one that will stop the thing pulling wheelies everytime I twist the throttle.
     
  7. An old colleague had that problem, 10mm of swingarm wouldn't overcome the weight inbalance between him and and his Dax.:D
