Hi Nick


I've been using my EFI Woodsman for commuting for nearly two years and 9000 miles now. I find it great, with never less than 80 m.p.g. It's light and easy to get through traffic. I use it all year round, protecting the bright bits with ACF50 and it's not looking too bad considering that I don't clean it very often. There have been a few minor problems (mostly electrical) but, on balance, it's the most fun that I've ever had commuting! It even crashes well as I found out when I fell off on the ice in January!

Hi John


Yup, I've done 7,800 miles on mine since may 2011. like yours There've been some teething problems etc but nothing too m uch different from when UI got my Suzi GS 500 from new.


I'm just about to change the front brake pads for the firsttime and the chainis also due to be replaced in the next 6 months.


As a commuter, its the bestthing I could've done, a great bile cheap on petrol. I'm getting 70mpg  ( 10 miles of London traffic ) and the turning circle of a bicycle!! Not forgetting the great looks, the sound of the thing and the genereal niceness of people interesetd in it....
