I quite liked the idea of one of these for a bit of fun. However it
would inevitably end up becoming my commuter bike. Unfortunately
reports suggest they fall apart in a rusty heap at the slightest hint
of rain/salt.

I was reading MCN (I know) on the train yesterday and they had an 8 month
old one.
Bubbling paint on the engine cover and pillion peg, discoloured wheels - all
sorts.
And the bloke had apparently washed and applied anti-corrosion stuff
liberally.
Kwak UK apparently will review them on a warranty basis, but you somehow
have to prove you've looked after it.

Do you? Where'd you get that idea from?
A mate of mine used to process all the warranty work at a medium sized
Kwack dealer, and I'm sure there was no such requirement.

According to a well-known Kwak dealer I won't mention for fear of
sending Blaney into a frenzy, Kwak have become *much* harsher on
warrantee work the last 4 years or so. They (Kwak) were apparently
losing shedloads of money by being very accommodating on warrantee work,
and so they put in place a system whereby it's *much* more difficult to
get things out of Kwak, and they've become far more "slippery" when it
comes to approving claims.
