head it’s a simple job to check and adjust the<br />
valve mechanism too. Cable actuated clutch<br />
means no hydraulics to fail and fuel injection<br />
lends improved fuel economy and hypothetically<br />
it’s more reliable than a carburettor.<br />

ride a bit awkward at the start. In the course<br />
of the test we put a solid 250 miles on top of
