Simon, I had a leccy start 850 for a while some years ago and just couldn't get to like it, lovely engine, unnerving brakes (easily remedied) but a very odd bicycle due to the isolastics - according to the Older and Wiser you can set them so the bike feels suitably taut at low speeds and somewhat vague at seventy or vice versa.

Personally I favour suitably taut at any and all speeds and no vagueness.

When was the last time you rode one?
