    Pretty little bike definitely reminds as you say of the Vello Thruxton ,I see you can buy a Brooklyn’s Can for £95 which I would be tempted to fit as imho it looks nicer than the Dunstall Decibel copy it has .
    As you guys ride modern machines and I have not biked for many ,years what’s you’re opinion of these Chinese power plants ?
    Some say OK but not nearly up to the Japanese quality others they are total rubbish and only good for 15000 miles
    I could do with some help on this as I’m contemplating this little bike for pottering about on.
    I’m a pensioner so price is a factor but I still want a real bike rather than a pop pop hairdryer and as shops will always say everything they sell is brilliant I really value your opinions rather than waste money on looks over quality.

      Lee B Yes the exhaust swap is a good idea. It seems to be good quality and we had no niggles but haven’t had a chance to test reliably over an extended period. I believe that the quality of Chinese bikes is now as good as any, afterall pretty much everything is made in China nowadays
