Bit of a long shot this (but it's free advertising ) The expense of shipping means only the lightest bits of clothing are worth shipping to the US

As CX's go it's very quiet & tight - no nasty camchain rattles ... at tickover the exhaust goes "thubba thubba thubba" & there's a constant sort of low-pitched mechanical squeaking as the air gets drawn in through the airbox & compressed in the cylinders, if you open the throttle at low road speeds the exhaust makes a noise more like "CHUBBA CHUBBA CHUB", and if you hoon along at high revs it's more like "VORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPP".

I'll see if I can record what it sounds like

Ok ... try this. Apologies for the cars whoosing past Turn up the bass to annoying levels to get a proper idea what it sounds like.

First spike is about 9,000 rpm (don't worry, it was still warm), 2nd drawn out spike is 4,000 rpm.

Ahhh the purring sound of a bike...no 50CC in sight in that recording. Yeh thats what I expected it to sound like...thanks Jon. Will have a think tonight and get back to you on it For the record, just put me down as "potential".

Sounds really good

Sold the bike & the panniers ... rest of the kit is still available
