Well, what can be said for my wee Runner 125?

I've had it for a couple of years now and its done everything from daily commutes to motorways to Eire, Scotland and England.

It does about 70mph, or 80 if you really tuck in behind the screen! Add on another 5-10mph for downhill and you can imagine how much fun this mere 125 actually is!

It beats all but the sportiest 125 motorbikes hands down in terms of acceleration and top speed, and gives about 60-70mpg, despite me throwing it around as if Belfast was a race track!

Super looking as well, I think most scoots on the roads look terrible, but even the wife likes this one. You can get a four stroke version of it, but don't - it CANNOT be as much fun as the 2-stroke!

If your license allows up to a 125, this is the ONLY choice...
