 Tuckshop's recommendation | |
Good pick up for a 125. Surprises other bikers working up through their gears. Good economy for a big scooter. 170 miles before reserve and another 20+ if needed in that. Excellent under seat storage for 2 full face helmets!
A fair bit of wind noise from the standard screen at 50mph plus. No manual seat opening (that I am aware of) if electric key operation fails (not that it has touch wood). Quite heavy to push around but then it is a big scoot! Can feel a bit bumpy on uneven roads with potholes etc. All minor gripes really though.
Overall very happy with this my first bike, sorry scooter. Private sale 5 months old for a grand less than new. So much more comfortable, nippy and stable than the manual SN125 I did my test on. Gears are fine but for my stop start commute this is much easier going and you can concentrate on other road users movements. Will cruise at 65-70 without feeling like you're thrashing it. Plus the girlfriend seems happy on the big comfy seat! Was slightly concerned when heard of a recall to do with the frame but work was quickly carried out to fix it and hopefully that won't be an issue in future.
