Because of the rolling diameter of the wheels and the fact they are geared the same as almost all other five speeds they go like a cut cat! All the 16 inch wheeled models got bad press but as long as you follow a few simple rules thy are fine.
1.) Stick to the original tyre profiles. This used to be difficult because for a while 16 inch wheels were out of vogue. The advent of 'Big Wheel' scooters has led to a new found availability again but profiles are VERY important or the bike will handle like a feral shopping trolley!
2.) They are VERY sensitive to tyre pressure changes. Experiment until you find what works for you and check them often!
3.) Keep the suspension in tip-top shape. It pays dividends.
Apart from that the T5 is your basic 'Cooking' model squarefin in ugly clothing. I really like 'em and there are bargains to be had as you say.
