    I'll be honest. You sound like a new rider as most of the issues you pointed out could have been identified before you bought the bike. The engine at 80 miles has not been broken in, so you are not gonna have full power because you need to slowly wear the parts in until the new service. This is not a good review, fella. It's harsh to hear, but, hopefully, it helps you to think more about what you are going to address after researching the said issues. Also, read the manual that comes with your bike. It makes a difference. Wish you all the best for the future.

The bike ended up back at Lukas and was stripped for parts as they were in need of warranty parts. My point in the video was about how bad this bike was. I’ve been contacted by many other owners that have bikes exhibiting the same issues, low power, damaged rims, headlight lenses cracking. So I collated issues. I’ve then used this work to help owners achieve warranty when Lukas previously rejected them. I’m still doing my bit today. 4 year warranty but nobody’s allowed to talk about the warranty rejections

    In the US, our pumps usually have a label stating something like: "May contain up to 10% Ethanol." I'm not certain how the ethanol content impacts the price the supplier pays for the fuel, or whether or not they make more profit from less or more ethanol. But I'm certainly OK with less ethanol than claimed. IMO, the stuff is one big gaslighting campaign to support corn producers.
