I was just thinking if I had to choose any scooter in the world, which one would I choose ? I would definitely be happy with any one of these 3 scooters The Italjet Formula 50. I love the design of these things. The only thing that I don't like is the Morini engine that it has. 1st generation Aprilia SR50. I know these things are old, but they are very beautiful. One of the coolest scooters out there. Gilera Fuoco 500. I don't know if this can be called a scooter, it looks more like a tank. It's a pure beast with a 500cc engine. Please, share your favorite scooters and the scooters that you would like to get.

That Gilera Fuoco looks exactly like the Piaggio MP3.
And my favorite scoot is the Yamaha Jog RR. Then Piaggio Zip, then the Yamaha Aerox.
Those are my top 3, but I like so many more.

I usually say the Aprilia SR50 DiTech. I'd like to try out so many. A big scoot like the Aprilia SRV 850 sounds like fun. I'd like to ride an old Vespa someday. I'd gladly roll on a modern fuel injected 125-150 from a big manufacturer. Piaggio Zip, Yamaha Aerox, and many more scooters I never even get to see in person. Not the typical scooter, but I like the Sachs MadAss quite a bit as well.

Vespa 300GT Super Sport. 80MPH stock. A guy at my A.A. Meeting had a red one. He let me ride it. The power is amazing. The Kymco People 50 is a 2 stroke. If you disconnect/cut the green wire on the CDI they will go close to 50 MPH.

I really like the larger diameter wheels. Feels more like a motorbike. All the sport style scooters are cool. I want all of them.

I too like the larger diameter wheels. I wish we could mod those to our little 49cc scoots.

Although Sachs is a German manufacturer, they use a chinese 139FMB engine for the MadAss. If it's a stock 50cc, it will only do 60km/h or 37MPH. If it has a 72cc kit on it, then it will be decent and go to about 85km/h or 52MPH. And it only has 4 gears. I'm being so critical because I had a moped with the same engine as the MadAss. I didn't like it , it was slow and ugly. I had a similiar one to this. The only plus side was the price and that it was very, very fuel efficient.

The funny thing is that that Vespa is more expensive then building a brand new racing Jog RR. It will have the same performance, possibly even faster. One guy from my country did exactly that.

The only plus side was the price and that it was very, very fuel efficient. Between myself and friends, we had 5 midbikes and 1 kart powered by those engines. I'm generally a 2T guy, but I thought they were a good platform. You can bolt in a stock 110-125cc and go much faster. With a 110cc manual and a sprocket change a friend got his little bike over 60MPH. Much more would be possible diving into the engine. I had a 114cc (110cc with BBK, mostly for compression) semi-auto and I could cruise around all day at 50MPH. The biggest issue with the midbikes here is they aren't legal on the road. Other issue is they're tiny and I wouldn't wanna ride one long these days. That's part of why I'd like to have a MadAss. Now you can get even larger engines than when I was into the little bikes too... 140cc or so.

In my country these things are available with 49cc or 72cc engines. 125cc variants of this engine are not common, they started appearing only this year. This engine with a 125cc and 6 gears could be really great, sadly they are only made with 4 gears.

At one point there were multiple variations of transmissions for them. Not really sure what's out there anymore. You could have full auto with no shifting. You could have semi-auto (clutchless shifting) and full manual. The shifted bikes usually had 4 speeds, but I believe some had 5. THe 5 speed may have been aftermarket from Takegawa. You could even get different gear patterns. Some were 1 down 3 up, some were N-1-2-3-4, and some would go in a circle 1-2-3-4-N-1-2-3-4... I don't think the continuous pattern was in manual models, but I'm not certain.
