Good review thanks. It's been hard to find an unbiased, non waffle review.

Think something like 2500 were imported from Japan into the USA and Canada sold for 2 years 2005 was the yellow black frame 2006 was the black and grey frame.. I have a 2006 myself black and grey in indiana in usa love the bike fun little scoot

Lovely review! If I didn't want one of these before watching, I definitely do now.
Regarding the sliding seat, I believe the backrest has to be in the upright position or else the pillion seat locking to the frame stops the seat from sliding.

It's pretty rare here in the US also. A guy I know just got one and he was looking for a while

Have the same bike in green here in cork City, have it 4 years with no issues till Sunday last.went for a spin to kinsale with a friend who was driving a brand new crf 300 honda, i was a mile from home ,after about 50 miles, when it lost all power, still ran and ticked over but refused to move,i think its called, bogged down.i got a tow for the last mile home up one of the steepest hills in cork northside,,dublin hill, scary on a car tow.hopefully its nothing major, dirty carburetor or something, enjoyed your review.
