Just had a word with the seller and it seems that most of the names in this thread have already put there names down for one - some even two we all know you lot are secret Bunrner fans
Iv got an old one from a bike I bought I may have to sacrifice it to the burner gods And film every moment of it (bring out the rc nitro fuel )
not a very nice start for a new fella with only a few posts i have to say .perhaps a bit more of a welcome would have been better than getting jumped on eh
raleigh cashed in as well with releasing the crap burner
and there is the irony, the MKII Burner has to be one of THE worst designs known to man
