Good scooter. The bike does about 45mph tops. It is sturdy enough and actually quite bulky for a 50cc. My only gripe is that it usually prefers to be kicked over when starting from completely cold but it runs fine and is very economical. £10 or so will completely fill your tank from empty and it doesn't guzzle 2 stroke oil either, a bottle will last ages. I've done 430 miles from new and no major problems so far. I did respray the exhaust with black high temp paint as the original paint began to flake but there was no serious rust. Otherwise a reliable fun run around. My previous bike was a Yamaha jog, and in honesty I found it a better faster scoot than the vivacity, but I ran it in Australia for a year so the weather was always perfect for it. The UK rain and snow, the vivacity has been in the shed most of the time. Great bike when new, not sure about 2nd hand or hard used vivacity how they fare but I guess you could do a lot worse.
