Why do MT500's gor for less than MT350's?


Sapper, the Series truck was over priced at Ă‚ÂŁ3500 for a vehicle needing work. He has decided to keep it now so im not too fused either way as I wanted a bike but my missus wanted me to get another 4x4

Because they are older, without electric start with worse brakes and they are British :D

However they are fantastic fun, able to put an electric start in, and you can upgrade the brakes. Win win win. They also look better IMO

Because people are scared of spraining their dainty little ankles and prefer to press a button.
:D
The 500 is a much more appropriate engine for modern roads and traffic too.
