Just to provide a balanced view - the guy next door has a Yeti 1.2TSI and loves it. However, it's only about 6 months old, so I can't comment on the reliability. Yep, I too have a 1.2 TSI Yeti which puts out 105bhp. The Yeti is quite a big lump and it pulls it along no problem. Informed opinion see...

I've got one of these........very impressed; quiet, comfy, light and best of all, looks fantastic!!

They briefly showed a Folland Gnat, a small anhedral wing jet used by the RAF in the trainer role before the Hawk, also preceeded the Hawk in the Red Arrows.

Thought they looked awful

My thoughts exactly.....I want shot of them but being a Yorkshireman, if I can get them off in one peice and flog them........

.....if not, like you, its out with the stanley knife...

Anyone removed a set of Oxford heated grips without damaging them?

I ran one of these for a couple of years as a commuter bike and I can highly recommend one. Very easy to ride, incredible economy (60mpg!!) but also good fun. You can get a super low seat option if she needs it. They seem to stand up to road salt in the winter with only minimal washing. Have fun Ian
