Very quiet. Fuel miser for the big 500cc. Very comfortable.

Not reliable stranded me downtown Denver. Fuel pump issues. Bad location of oil filter. Hard to service battery. Oil overflow drips on rear tire. Brakes noise.

General Comments
I am not impressed with this machine. If your looking for reliable scooter look elsewhere. I only had this scooter a couple of days and knew it wasn't for me. I bought it used and it only had 600 miles on it. Is has good take off speed. The temperatures climbed and the hotter the day were I would lose fuel pressure and come to a complete stop. I would let it cool down and it would preform again. The Denver Colorado dealers are not very friendly and you usually have to wait two weeks before you can even get a date for service. I guess the machines are breaking down quite often. That is why they are so busy. Please look for something bullet proof you don't want to be left stranded. By the way it was a fuel pump issue and needed replaced ...Bring your wallet.
