Also has a good set of brakes.


Bad Points

Uncomfortable seat!


General Comments

This is the first bike that I have owned following my CBT and it has been a lot of fun to ride. I choose this bike over the Honda SH 125 because I preferred the styling of the Carnaby. I am 6ft 2 inches but still have plently of leg and foot room. The bike is also quite nippy and able to lap up the A roads on my journey to work with no probelms. The only issue I have had is when it comes to longer in town journeys on those pot holes and road humps. (I'm doing the Knowledge!) The seat begins to get uncomfortable after about 25 - 30 minutes and after about an hour becomes quite painful on the rear. I don't know if this is a common trait with all scooters or unique to this one. I will speak to the dealer to see if there is any thing that can be done to save my poor posterior! Anyway back to the positives, the brakes work well and saved me when a car pulled straight in front of me and forced me to make an emergency stop. The fuel consumption, tax and insurance is saving me a small fortune.
