I think it looks absolutely beautiful and I really want it bad

I currently have a 620ie. Will it fit if not should I get rid.

It'll fit but you'll get oil all over the floor as the 620 Ie has a wet clutch.

It definitely will not make the bike any taller.

if you are over 12 stones, then i cant see a problem
otherwise, i'd get a green one.

lol Stef I have absolutely no idea what that is or how it would fit!

Oh I've just reread my original post and I seem to have put up the wrong picture it was suppose to be this one :)

Oh haha! Very good. Yes definitely buy one. It will look lovely on you. They're very slimming bikes by the way. I've been riding behind Benson on hers and because the bars and mirrors stick so far out, she looks really really small. Very slimming. No colorific value apparently.

ok, i think the bike should fit too.
The spud thrower is nice, but i'd prefer the bike.

:) now I know Ms Benson fits hers well and I have seen Anne on hers and she is about the same in cuddle height to me so It's just gotta fit me. I do like the thought of it shedding a few pounds of my middle an added bonus that I hadn't even considered.

When it arrives Mrs Nonnie it may have to make a special delivery up Norfolk way :)
