Good Points

Great styling and features. Comfortable seating position. Smooth acceleration and good handling. Motorcycle styling with the ease of automatic scooter operation. Bright LED taillight. Effective disk brakes front and rear. Stainless steel (Inox) exhaust system. Castings and detail of design are above par, for the price range.

Bad Points

High price for a Taiwan product. Engine vibration not well dampened. Digital gauges hard to read at night.

General Comments

The CPI GTR 150cc is a good cross between a scooter and a motorcycle. It operates like a modern automatic scooter, but rides, looks, and handles like a conventional motorcycle. The first time I rode it, I was reminded of riding a horse. You sit rather upright, instead of being bent over a fuel tank as on many sport bikes.
The top speed is around 55 or 60 mph, which is not very impressive for a modern 150cc. With the large diameter tires, the acceleration is also not very impressive. Both are just adequate. Time will tell if breaking in and alterations will yield better performance.
