Hi, I bought the family friend that only has the box on the front left - which I have never used anyway. But might get a lamp accessory on a long wire to plug...
Front wheel braking: most experienced bikers rarely touch the back break unless cornering sharply or maneuvering (eg the dreaded "turn in the road") because...
The only thing I'd say is get the 200. All the other bits you could by afterwards if you feel you need them, except the ABS. The brakes lack bite and you need...
Have to take a different view on braking. I would say that most experienced bikers use both brakes. If you only use the front brake then I would say that the...
Agreed - in an emergency stop I'll haul on all the brakes. Linked brakes? No thanks! Apparently (so says the Telegraph Motoring section) most scooter riders...
I rather lock the front wheel than the back wheel... I think ABS is good even though I agree somewhat with Evan in message 1192 that the pulsing is anoying but...
Your teacher was right, but ABS give you the braking ability of an expert rider all the time. As I mentioned in an accident things happen fast, instinct takes ...
ABS is great, but on a car. A car is a stable platform it wont fall over. When a wheel locks on a car it slides a bit the ABS cuts in and it grips again. On a...
I was taught to use both brakes, and then taught to use the front only. It depends on your riding style and the bike your on. Modern sports bikes have alot of...
Doesn't the C1's geometry change very little when braking - due to the "Telelever" suspension? At least it feels as such to me. Uri ... you ... ABS ... wheel ...
I think the telelever can be designed to have no geomtery change, but 'bikers' said the steering then gave no feedback, so the engineers put some back in. Dont...
Well since I am not a master of the breaking art, ABS would be nice. My dilemma is that there is no used C1 200 with ABS around and it is not possible to add...
Hi All, I'm selling my C1 125 to upgrade to a 200. If any of you are interested or have friends who are interested, please contact me at ray.yee@... ....
Hi I had to have my C1 transported by a local 'twat' (to put it nicely) and they made several comments about how the wheels were the wrong size as they didn't ...
I now have an address and phone number for Peter Parker, I've e- mailed him and am awaiting a response. Cheers Evan ... nicely) and they ... they didn't ... ...
Just a few points on ABS. When I have tested it on wet roads it feels like the wheels have turned oval and you're going down a rumble strip on the motorway. I ...
Erm.......hello? Anyone looking for me? A certain person named Evan from Milton Keynes has done me, what seems to be, a huge favour (and possibly all fellow UK...
I went and got a copy as well. It's nice to see my name in print, even though I sent the email to them 3 months ago, and they haven't answered the question! I...
Hi I have only had my bike a short time and live in a v windy part of the country (Highlands) however I have already experienced the helmet banging my head...
Hi Well I have an interesting development, my ex-demo C1 was meant to have ABS but it doesn't so the dealer is offering me a C1 with ABS (an the alarm - which...
Hi C1 Exec + ABS + Alarm - 750 miles you don't know about - Black C1 + Jade + 400 miles you know about I don't know how much damage 750 bad miles can do to a...

Hi all, I am now here in Italy and just thought I would post you a few lines on the helmet issue that I typed out on the plane. I am in touch with six other...
As you will see from the "Photos" page i am a new member of the C1 Owners Fan Club. I got a new C1 125cc Executive last week. Took my CBT on Wednesday - never...
Can anyone tell me if there is a parts listing for our C1's ? So if i need to order replacement items either to repair or service the bike i can ensure that i...
Nervous while sitting in it & pushing it backwards? Too right! I'm nervous about it having ridden mine every day since early March. I'm now very happy about...
Has anyone got this fitted - was £175 extra ! I have the Exec model and it comes with what can only be described as a rather nasty walnut coloured seat. I...
