Not yet seen one on the road, it looks ok, a good bike for downsizing as we get old, frail & can no longer tolerate all the electrickery gubbins that goes wrong. I tried downsizing, it hasn't worked, I just ended up with an extra bike.
A small bike I like for keeping off the busy main routes, I go off on my Serow if I'm staying within the Peak district/no more than 100 mile rides. Could do with a bit more oomph though. A Triumph (BSA) B50 with leccy start.

Saw one at a dealers last week. Asked about it and was told, it's basically a Tiger 900 with fewer frills and built down to a more acceptable price, but don't quote me ....

Sounds about right, got all the good stuff, just left off some of the electrickery. Once you've had CC you'd miss it if you do M'way a lot.

Naaa, all you need is one of these:

Had one for years on my old Beemer K (which had a mighty throttle spring).

Those things look scary. I did use an O ring for a while.
