Rubish when new, means a bit rarer these days or will be one day!  |

RM1 (and 2) are Quite Interesting, as they were Raleigh designs and not Mobylettes built under licence like the later ones, so one is well worth restoring if you can find the parts. The Wisp was the one that was rubbish. It was based on the RSW 16 bike, but fortunately the engine usually gave up before the frame broke
