Advantages: fast, looks good

Disadvantages: wears, rubbish security

I was thinking of buying one of these bike because they are stylish and cheap to run. The insurance, fuel and tax are all relitavly cheap.

What chanched my mind is what people had to say about it. Within one week I heard several stories about these scooters saying how bad they are:

Security: The under seat compartment is not very sucure and can be opened by vertually anyone. The steering lock can be broken off by turning the handel bars with hardley any force needed.

Ware & tear: I've heard that these scooters wear easily. The common stories are clutch, brake pads and tires.

The good point with the scooter is that it had 4 restrictors on it and it is still capable of 40mph. remove these and you could be reaching speeds of upto 60mph.

My coice now hearing alll this would be to go for one of the following:

Aprilia RS50
RX50
Derbi GPR-50
Senda
All of which have a six speed manual gear box.
