Fun to drive
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 26, 2008It is the most powerful and smoothest scooter that I have driven. I usually rent a 110-120cc scooter when I am overseas, where it usually more common. The acceleration is very quick and enough power to drive comfortably on the freeway. It accelerates up to 75 mph reasonably quick then slowly climbs ... up to 100 mph. I am comfortable taking it around 70 to 75 mph as cruising speed.
My brother, who is into motorcycles, gave it a look around and was impressed with all of the components. I just care that it runs and with ease.
After two years, no repairs have been required with maintenance just consisting of oil changes and tune-ups.
In terms of cost, it is worth every cent. With gas prices going up, it has probably paid for itself already. I get about 60 mpg.
