Hi, Ive now noticed there is an 806 torque (grey)with 8 gears and an 806 torque with 7 gears. Apart from 1 gear is there any other difference.? Maybe one is an older model perhaps?

Thanks for reply but mine is a 20 inch tyre with 7 gears, that’s why I was wondering what the difference is.

One gear.
It reminds me of one of my first maths lessons in Barstable Scool in Basildon at 11 years old. Mrs Abayasekera wrote on the board "a" and "-a", then asked what's the difference. Clever Dave Mortlock put his hand up and gave the answer "2a". 5 years later he was expelled for having long hair. What a waste! It's weird what you can remember.

Indian teachers were rare in those days. She always wore a full Saree, which sort of dangled from her arm when she wrote on the board.

Here's Dave's website. he plays fiddle in a band now.
