So you’re doing your scooter shopping and are tempted by names such as “Jet Force” and the like with a max speed of 70mph and an engine that sounds like banshees who have accidentally caught their testicles in a vice. Grow up. These bikes have their components pushed to the limit and unless you’re careful with them, their fancy fuel injectors will need replacing and the cost will just explode. If you’re looking for something sensible then you’re looking at the right place, as long as you can stomach the name... Beverly - now who thought that was sexy? The chassis for this bike is almost the same as is used for the 500cc model and ... Read the complete review

I have bought used Piaggio B125 Scooter and have been riding it for a couple of days so far. I really like it and there is much to like it: sturdy feel, very comfortable sitting and suspension, a lot of room for your knees if you have got long legs like myself. Riding is smooth and a pleasure. I have got it with top box and side panniers already fitted so I have plenty of storage. I share the mentioned cold start problem though if I do not give it a couple of minutes before going to the first junction I get myself into trouble.

I traded up to a B125 in April 2003,having previously had a 50cc typhoon. The bike is a great ride and being a hi-wheeled scoot is also safer. The digital clock/computer is a fantastic addition and the instrument panel/lighting is one of the best Ive seen. I commute every day on it and found it excellent on juice. I sometimes feel like carrying on past work,its such an enjoyable ride! Is there a downside you ask? Well, yes. Only on the accessories side. I ordered a top box for my scoot at the same time(a large helmet will not fit under the seat) after numerous phone calls and e-mails, 6 months later I received it! (cost £150) My dealer was waiting on sole distributors ... Read the complete review

I got a B125 after my last bike was stolen. This bike is a revelation...i love it.. Loads of room loads of comfort and its great on juice(but aint all scooters) Has yet ive nothin bad to say on this bike and another good plus point its a very secure bike has well its not easy to steal... I Love It... My last bike was a Habana custom 125cc in black and the reviews for that are spot on its a good looker but not very reliable at all. My speedo cable and front brakes went within 6mts of having the bike and the parts are a nightmare to get hold of. Its the complete opposite with the B125. Its a very strong sturdy bike and being a piaggio it is ... Read the complete review
