just thinking of your travelling bud you know you didn’t fancy helping me up in the Midlands with odd jobs. Malverns would be a longer trip into bandit country...
yes! Great fun to ride but you end up constantly ringing it's neck which was the only reason I sold my first one, before i blew it up. That engine was pretty strong considering and produced around 33 brake in Supercity/Planet(later Raptor)/Mito form. And you are right, they called one of the 125s an Elefant also - there was even a 200cc Elefant!
Sounds like riding my chainsaw, but that is not at all highly tuned and has half the power of a Supercity, so I can't break it!
My guns are not for hire especially not in the midlands or anywhere else for that matter, and yes a damn long way to go for a portion of chips if not a successful fishing trip.

forgot to say @DucatiScud - the Derby of the same era was almost identical to the Cagiva Mito 50 cc bit of a dog's dinner though, this one.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234025271815?hash=item367cfe4207:g:kSMAAOSwVV1goCuF
An incredible amount of work done to a 50cc -now 77cc- bike. I never understand why a few people are so adverse to two stroke autolube/ CCI systems as they are superior to premix.
Yes I’ve seen those cheap, found a RS4 50 in race replica colours for £650 needs tidying. Going to try and chip it down a little.
Probably because if and when it stops working it’s catastrophic in their eyes, little realising that 4 strokes also use oil pumps. Might just be a throw back to an earlier time that lingers, a little like people are adverse to high mileage new bikes.
All of the above no doubt, plus a liberal helping of urban legend. Race bikes didn't use CCI, and the idea formed that premix was "better" when in fact it was simply weight saving for throw away race engines. People who use premix on CCI fitted Suzuki's are ill informed. CCI has far greater reliability & protection for their engines; the gear driven pumps increase the oil as the rpms increase unlike the premix. Some of these engines have mains bearings which are oiled directly by the CCI, and if there's no CCI, the obvious happens...
not necessarily a bargain, but might be worth asking... https://www.gumtree.com/p/ducati-mo...dition-great-project-offers-above-/1406427534
