Ha ha, do you want the long or the short answer, for the long answer you'll need to catch me on a day when I've had a more substantial breakfast (oh by the way, do you want to read a fun article about breakfast eating habits, ha ha, then read this).

So, the short version. The 430 is on the way out, expensive to operate and is no longer being produced. It means that the longer the clock keeps ticking (and there ain't no way of stopping it) the more your asset will depreciate, just that this one will depreciate rapidly. It also means though that you can pick them up real cheap too but, as I say, just be prepared for those expensive operating costs.

If you want performance, not just CAT A but speed also, the Italians have it when it comes to executive light twins.
