    I had one of these as my first bike - it handles wonderfully, and not too high in the seat position either.

    Not sure how you managed to buckle both wheels?

    I see you are looking for wheels on treademe the rear wheel is pretty common e.g. gsx250 you may be able to use a front one of these as well and have a twin disc set up
    hope this helps cheers

    The rear wheel can be fixed -dunno about the front.

    the rear is the same as a rgv250, you can fit a bandit 6 rear wheel but the calliper bracket needs modding and the bearings need to be changed along with the internal spacer, brilliant bikes, and one of the few i would consider owning again
