Mind you £400, it'd be a good winter snotter no matter how dull it is.

I keep buying an occasional bike mag and the electronics in some bikes makes them sound uncrashable.

The TL1000 had a reputation for doing it, wether it was deserved or owner inspired I have no idea. I think later ones for a steering damper as standard.

Wasn't the fault with the TL the radial rear damper (no idea sorry) overheating & causing the handling to go to shit?

Owner inspired by not eating enough pies. If you're over 15 stone you were fine.

Hmm not likely to affect me then - unless the effects of the poor bike trying to drag my portly frame through the air caused it.

I've been offered one for £400.

Have you bought it yet?

It's was a Benly. Twin cylinder CD200.
