Well what can I say other than I love the superdream
Nice and easy to ride for a novice (well I used to ride 125's about 20 odd years ago)
Compared to a newer bike it does seem quite rattley from the engine , Ive heard this is normal ??
When its been on a run it does struggle to tick over when warm , and the clutch is quite snatchy just before it is fully released , as if it is sticking
I was told to report back on here about the silvers coil when I rode the bike and I can say it has not caused any problems whatsoever , so it seems like they have cured the problems they was having with their coils
All in all The superdream is a keeper

Hi Gaz. Congratulations, I know the bike tests that you have to take now are pretty expensive and there seem to be so many. I have to admit I don't understand all the different modules, in my day it was simple. You could ride up to 250cc on a provisional license and once you had passed the test you could ride any bike. I passed my test in July 1969 on a BSA Bantam. I bought my first car in 1971 and never rode a bike again until 2010. You can imagine how I felt going out on a bike again after all those years. Anyway enough of my waffle, enjoy riding. All the best. Mike.

Well done Gaz,congratulations! Might be worth going through the adjustment procedures for the cam chain, balance chain & valve clearances - otherwise ride & enjoy!
