Lots of people have opinions about V-Due's, many negative, and there's a lot of conflicting 'knowledge' about what's actually wrong with the design and what needs to be done to get 'em running right.

I bet most of the people have no actual experience of one and are just repeating what they've heard or read somewhere. Reminds me of my 3MA - lots of horror stories and misinformation out there, take it all with a big pinch of salt though. I'll get my info direct from the owners ta.

Call me weird, but - like the 3MA - a reputation for flawed design, fragility or a troublesome ownership experience just makes me want one even more. Love


I agree. I also own a 3MA. When I bought it, it was seizeid and had a twisted crankshaft. After a serious rebuilding and setting up the carb, it is much more reliable than my previous RGV's Exclamation

Well the old girl flew through the MOT today, only problem was the rear brake light presure switch, which needs the strength of a pmt'd gorilla to make it work. Will have to remove it and get a replacement.
