Overall Rating

- Year Manufactured2003
- Build quality
Good acceleration to 30mph takes a bit to get to 50, i've had 51 out of it but the next day my speedo cable snapped, too much pressure I think.
Out accelerates a Aprilia sr50 racing replica thats fully derestricted and silencer too!
Bad Points
Takes time to warm up, when bike is worn in.
General Comments
I bought my Piaggio Typhoon 50cc Scooter in october 2003 and couldn't wait because it was my 16th birthday, it was really ok when I first got it, but it was only doing 22mph at the max on flat ground, but my speedo was sayin 27mph. Ah well, now its great, as I can burnoff loads of cars at the traffic lights, I took it too a large hill in wales the other day called llangollen where I went full pelt downhill, and got about 65mph out of it, it was really good clean fun.
On average, people found this review very helpful

on 15th Feb 2007Hi. When you say clamp the bits on your exhaust, do you mean the metal bits of pipe that come off the pipe? Do you squeeze them together?
Thanks.deanpt50 on 16th Oct 2008
Does it matter if I just but a technigas race exhaust on my thphoon 50 even if there is the pipe connecting to the engine some where?
w/b thanks.
