Do you have any more photos of the supermini? I started searching for them for a bit, then got bored and went back to pining after electric trials bikes.
Yes it is quite astounding how ‘honest’ people become incredibly dishonest when shifting a bike (or other marketplace item). Dishonest people turn into caricatures of themselves.
The more I dived into the GN, the more I learned that every “ask this before you buy” question was answered incorrectly. Not so much a can of worms, just a steady trickle of lies being uncovered. Made me feel nervous when selling, trying to be sure to cover everything as honestly as possible to the next guy.
The DR guy was quite honest, but still failed to point out a few things; possibly he didn’t know, likely he simply didn’t mention.
The XJ, the friend was as honest as possible and I can’t fault him for that. He had barely put 200 miles on it since resurrecting it to MOT standard. When I picked up a few things they were clearly impossible to know about until you put 500 miles into it and start asking it to work hard.

Meh, still haven't got a 6th gear on the little bike. Knew it wouldn't be an easy fix - bloody pain in the arse. I'm going to up the gearing a tad and have one more outing at the track before I split the cases. I hope at this point, the previous owners spiel about 100cc, supermini top ends was as much baloney as everything else. The oversize piston is stupidly expensive next to the stocker.
Amazing the outright lies that people tell about stuff here. We're not talking the sins of omission but flagrant, stinking porkies. So annoying.
