Imagination could run riot on why that hasn't been used. Whim of a film star, footballer, multi-millionaire, being some of the happier ideas. The purchaser will need to be very careful with all the potential problems of a machine that has stood unused for so long. Unless they just intend to put it in a museum that is!

Been in touch with Andrew Hart, the shop that is selling the bike (who is based in Dundee, just up the road from me), and he says that it was bought new from him by an oil worker as an introduction to motorcycling. He felt that the three wheels would be a safer option. However, after buying the bike he found that he did not have the confidence and so the bike sat in a heated garage and was only brought out to go to the shop when it needed an MOT or a service.
I actually quite fancy the bike myself but couldn't justify having three three-wheelers sitting in my garage. 8) ![]() |

A mate of mine has a Fuoco 500 and an MP3 500 LT, he reckons they're like chalk and cheese, and I must admit, when he gets on the Fugly, he becomes Mr Hyde
He's not the only one ![]() |
