Likely to be expensive, slow, high maintenance, expensive spares, poor build quality, quick to rust and unreliable - just like all other things automotive coming from France. :yes:

The French should stick to their cooking, philosophy, arts and revolutions :D

Funny that - the Germans, Italians, Japanese, Brits and Americans all seem to have some consistency between their car and motorcycle industry. :yes:

According to wikipedia they stopped production in 2002, and resumed production in 2003.

I remember reading about these a few years ago. Good to see one has made it to NZ.

Is that it mate? Pathetic school boy taunts? You can't/won't debate the subject (from a previous thread) like an adult so you troll my every post from here on in, is that it? Are you the saddest wanker on the planet lol??? Honest question! It's not that I mind so much, im actually embarrassed for you. If any of your mates are reading any of this I sincerely hope they have a wee private chat. Your every post of late (in any thread you are in that ive seen) are nothing short of vile childish ill founded rants, grow the hell up mate.

Tested it.

Nice bike. Remarkably stable on the road.

Couldn't breathe with all the pollution gear it was lumbered with stock, stick some cans and a chooon in it and it's actually quite a tasty motorcycle.

If you can deal with that being French thing. I wanted to Photograph it next to where the Rainbow Warrior was sunk.

You assume I've fallen off a perch?? Fuck read your own post BooB. I make a couple snide comments and you assume I've started a hate war on everything Boob says. Get real, I've got better things to do than chase you through a forum. Perhaps you should re-read your own post and take on board some of your own advice.

And no, I did not put that tag there, nor do I give a shit who did.

The French Consulate in Auckland bought in 3 of these when I was at AMPS.
AMPS kept one and 2 went down the line to Lyndsay Williamson; IMO Lyndsay got the better looking ones.

The company is still in business but the Consulate left NZ and I don't think the agency flew. At least I've never seen another one.

From what I remember, AMPS had a lot of trouble getting the bike approved in NZ
