Heikos motorcycles

After I crashed my car, I bought this motorcycle.
What sums this bike up for me?
- had Koni back shock absorber
- bad front shock absorber
- oil leaking cylinder head
- something loose in the exhaust
- simple tech, easy to fix and maintain
- good handling
- pretty ugly :-)

I rode this bike about 26Mm and sold it for the BMW.

- Hepco and Becker sucks - those folks even denied that there is such thing as resonance frequency, which was in fact exactly at 4000rpm, wenn the whole mount began shaking and buzzing
