20mpg and synthetic oil makes it pretty expensive to run!!!!
Then wait until your gearbox decides to exit through your crankcases and deposits bits of gears throughout the rest of your engine.

thousands of pounds to repair nowadays.
It will happen one day if you use the bike whether you have the upgraded gearbox or not.
