I like that, I suspect it's gutless, vibrates like one of Denise Van Outen's bedroom toys and is horrible to ride.

It's remarkable how the retro-styled stuff just looks naff in comparison to the real thing.

I think it's one of those things that you'd really have to like and have some nostalgia attached to it otherwise it wouldn't be fantastic to ride.
