I've not heard of those, quick google search, very nice!

You're so close, but alas it is the slightly later B120. Not really sure what changed other than the tank though.
That was taken when i collected from the Isle of Wight and didn't want to pay to ferry it back over, so made a day trip of it, we live in Portsmouth!

A mate had the 100 and rode it into an unlit pile of sand in South Norwood :shock:

Yours looks in great condition- has it been restored?

Love that pic Callum - everyone (wife included) looks great in it so she shouldn't worry. :wink:

Yes, it has been sprayed up by the previous owner, so looks ok. It's my daily rider though, so sadly doesn't look as clean and the chrome is suffering. Hey ho, damn cheap motoring.
Replaced the seat cover and fitted a different tail light yesterday, so smartened it up a wee bit. I had the silencer acid dipped a couple of weeks back to clean it out, it had been painted due to poor chrome, so now it is rusty as the paint is gone.
Sorry for the thread hijack!

Bongo in shot to keep it relevant!

Oh how i would love a go a gt250, lovely styling and a 2 stroke twin, what's not to like?

That Cota is really good, it's not my normal style preferance, but it looks like it is designed for what it's meant to do, as opposed to so many trail bikes you see these days!

It was GT250M Ram air, loads of fun

The Cota is a trials bike not a trail bike, its all feet up stuff:
