    Guys, what's people's options on this bike? Thinking of picking one up tomorrow, will be mainly for the odd bit of commuting around Dublin City and some spins at the weekend.

    What are common issues I should look out for, also this one is 2000 Wikipedia says it's fuel injected is this true, as I want to keep away from carbs.

    The NT650 is Carbed, the NT700 is injected (it was introduced in 2006).

    I had an NT650 for a while, grand bike for learning on, it's a cheap shafty so you see a lot of lads with old enough ones as the maintenance is handy on them. I'd read the reg/rec and fuel pump would go, and the original exhaust tends to rot on them, make sure to ask when the fuel pump and exhaust were done (as it's rare to find one where they haven't).

    They seem to be decent reliable bikes, very little hassle out of them. Loads of space for your sandwiches.

    Bite the bullet and just bought one. Fairly impressed so far, such an easy bike to ride.

    I had one for a couple of years, one of the best bikes I ever rode. Even managed to fill the tank with diesel and rode off, and after just emptying the tank and topping her up with petrol she went on and on
