    Vento Phantom 150 is OK for the money, you get what you pay for, 2,300 dollars new. looks great but cables, lights,and Gauges are common problem. speedometer in MPH/KPH and tripometer is in Kelometers. RPM gauge is all over the place. plastic side cover mounts break. seat bolt come out, fake carb cover broke off from vibration, same for the battery holder. on the good side is nice tires and wheels. overall good looking bike. not for open highways, cruse speed is only around 45 mph. any faster and you are running it much too hard.

    i bought a used Vento Phantom 150 from a buddy. it has only 1200 miles on it. runs great but not the most beautiful thing to look at as it has bit the dust quit a few times. other than that i love it, its great for a around the neighborhood vehicle, plus i only gave $200.00 for it. i enjoy it alot and gets me anywhere. wise investment and would highly recommend it.

    I'll admit I'm spoiled. I drove 10K mikes on a Burgman 650 last year (San Diego to Cabo, and then to Jersey shore), and also own a Honda Reflex 250. These are high end bike, whereas the Vento Phantom 150 is not. This is a classic example of "You get what you pay for." If you want a high-end bike, you'll have to consider a Honda (Reflex) or Suzuki (Burgman), Vespa or Aprilia. However, you can buy 3 or 4 Phantoms for what you would pay for one of the aforementioned.My experience with the Vent ...

    When I took the bike in for repairs, the shop kept the bike for 7 weeks waiting for "a part" from Vento. I called 5 plus weeks ago and ordered a new left mirror assembly. I was told yesterday there is no telling when the part will come in but instead I could buy two black ones (my bike is yellow) at cost. This is no way to run a business. I am extremely disappointed. I was intending to upgrade from the 150cc to the Thunder but have decided against that move.

    Bought 2004 Vento Phantom in 2008 with only 300 miles on it. Like the looks and feel of it. So far so good. Question w/the 150cc engine what is the top speed suppose to be? My book says 60 Vento told me 50 any though there thanks.
    Over all good scooter. But for the price of a new one is it worth it compared to the knock offs.

    Bought the Vento Phantom on line after speaking with dealer in 04. Shipped directly to home. Easy to assemble and fun to ride. I put 2500 miles on it mostly at WOT on a 55 mph rd with no traffic lights. Straight and level for 17 miles. Belt blew at 2500. Modified exhaust with Pro150 and rejetted carb and moded air filter to K&N. still tops out at 53 mph. I am 5'7" 250 lbs. At purchase I was around 180 lbs. Have seen no decrease in overall top end. Live at 6200' above sea level which takes away p ...

    I think the 150 Vento Phantom I have is great. Smooth quiet and runs perfectly after 1300 miles. I don't know how long it will be good or if I'll be able to get parts though. So far its perfect.

    Built very cheap, I've had to change the muffler 2 times, I left it out side on the coverd pool deck for two months and now the bolts are rusting the plastic on the head lights and turn signals are faded, and the front brake has always squeked and no one seams to be able to fix it. The gasket were the muffler pipe goes into the motor has vanished and made the bike run like there was some thing wrong with the carberator so after waisting time and money I finally figured that out.
    I bought this to ...

    Overall pretty good, but regular maintence checks HIGHLY recommended for safety of nuts being in place and on tight.
    I took it in for first maintenance @ 600 miles and the rear axle nut was MISSING! It just came off. I even drove it to the dealer's like this. I guess I was lucky not to get in an accident!
    Regular brake cable inspection & axle nut inspection is HIGHLY recommended for safety!
    Hard to find parts (cannot find an 18W H4 Halogen headlight bulb anywhere in Denver, CO). Put in a 35 W fr ...

    I have had my Vento Phantom 150 Scooter for about a month and have almost 800 mile on it. So far so good.

    This is my second Vento scooter (first was a Sauron GT 125cc). I got is through my dealer for a big discount. I took the lime green scooter and am very pleased using it as a commuter to work (saves my motorcycle for weekend playtime). I just got 90 miles out of 1.16gal of super-unleaded! Experiencing front end shimmy at around 45mph and suspect an unbalanced tire. I will have my dealer check that out on it's initial tune. Very happy with power. I live at over 5280 feet elevation and surprising p ...

    Ask me in a year if I'm still glad I got a Vento Phantom 150, but I like my local dealer and am delighted with the Phantom. I'll not be fiddling with the exhaust to get more speed. The quietness endears the bike to my wife and neighbors. I'm still inventing errands I can run on it. I'd suggest avoiding mail-order and getting the bike from a dealer who can set it up properly and service it knowledgeably. Got no dealer? Offer to order one through a local shop and let him make some money on i ...

    I don't mind working out the bugs but there is not real Vento help that I'm aware of. I guess I'll have to take my Phantom 150 apart and figure it out myself. I've only been able to put on 1,000 miles so far.

    I've had my Vento Phantom 150 for about 400 miles now, it would be more but I got it in the winter. I'd recommend this scooter because it's a relatively good alternative to getting the name brand that costs double. Mind you if you aren't mechanically inclined, I wouldn't get this bike. If you like to tinker, then get it. I haven't had any major problems with the bike, but if you want to do anything to this bike, the first thing I would do is get a new sport exhaust since the one that comes o ...

    I order the Vento Phantom Strada 150 TE in Hot Lime because most of the bike is in flat black, hold over from my motorcycle days. Out of the box the bike missed, changed the spark plug and it cured the problem.

    Bike rides well, suspension is great for in-town riding and does well on switchbacks up to a limit. I bottom the center stand regularly on one road but so do the streetbikers. I find the tires to have good adhesion and the low profile helps with looks. Important on a scooter.

    I ...

    I got my Vento Phantom 150 Scooter as an internet special. It arrived damaged, with scratches, and dents etc... It had an over tightened rear brake drum cable, and an under tightened front fork nut that caused violent shaking during braking. I contacted the seller and manufacturer for information, and the service is repeatedly without any reply. I ended up fixing it myself. Now it works great, but it was a headache.

    I have owned the Vento Phantom 150 Scooter for about a month and have spent a fair amount of time playing with it, getting to know it, taking things apart and looking at the way they are made and so on. IMO the bike is reasonably well made, should be reasonably reliable as local transportation, and should be fairly cheap to run. With only 80 miles on it so far, I cant speak about many of the issues that longer term owners can address, but for those short trips it is fun to ride, quick enough to ...

    I bought my 2003 Vento Phantom 150 Scooter used last month with only 54 miles on it. I'm Well pleased with the looks, power and handling. It gets 85 mpg and has suprising performance considering I weigh in at 210 pounds. I have a 1000 cc motorcycle for when I have the need for speed, but most of the time I prefer to putt around on the scooter, it's a real blast.

    I solved the annoying problem of the mirrors moving by drilling and putting a long screw down into the mounting base. Still work ...
