I bought my wife a scooter to commute from our house to her work 30km/h, max speed limit the way she goes is 70km/h. The Scooter is an Aprilia SR50 Factory (de-restricted) with my fat arse on it the scooter is quite capable of close to 100km/h. It is only 50ccs but it will smoke most cars from the lights and some bikes and it only uses $6.00 of BP Ultima a week and a bit of two stroke oil every 600kms.
Fully worked (70cc kit, new ingition computer, pipe and a couple of other little things) it will be capable of approx 130 to 140km/h.
I wouldn't allow my wife to go out on the streets, without her full gear which includes a IXON fabric jacket with elbow, shoulder and back protection, R-Jays carbon fibre knuckled gloves, Sidi boots, Draggin jeans and HJC helmet.
The problem with car drivers is that because she is on a scooter they
assume she can't do the speed limit, it's quite amusing to watch as they overtake her as she cruises up to the speed limit just for them to be overtaken by her when the speed limit goes up another 10 kays.
So ZZRCHIKKY, do I bundle you in with all the other type of the bike riders such as the Harley riders, wannabe Harley rides, Goldwing retirees, and cheap arse Hyosung riders because all of those guys get in
my way and give me the shits or do I just respect you for having the courage of being able to ride some form of two wheeled transport?
