          The two i had handled so much better than my other arfs XR3i but you did feel every bump in the road, probably due to the Koni adjustables on the last one
          Wish i had taken it out on a track day now though as i expect it would have been fun, fun,fun on smooth tarmac
          Top interior too...

              You can pick these up for £300ish for a rough bring your own welder job, up to £3000 + for a top job
              Each coil energises 2 cylinders via the E.C.U. but these coils are prone to failing now due to its age, and they are rare secondhand as rocking horse s--t
              Hence a few folks are converting to XR3i dizzy and leads which can make them run better
              But RUST is their main problem these day's all over im afraid
              Still nice looking cars though..
