Evlevo Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Love it and never let it go! Every time i see a picture of a 1200 i die a little inside remembering i sold mine. It was scary in the rain, it was slow, but hell was it fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
