Over all it's not a bad bike. The only complaints are that the front fender looks like a dirtbike one. There is no under seat storage just about enough for two bottles of water or a box of 9mm cartridges....lol
It rides very well, handles excellent , brakes beautifully. It's a dream to ride. I will be undergoing qutie a few modifications in the future such as but not limited to: big bore kit, ported and polished cylinder head, cam, carb, uni air filter, carbon fiber exhaust, complete transmission upgrade including rear gears and the works essentially. I will keep you al updated on the progress.

Oh almost forgot, not pictured it comes with a matching trunk and a windscreen that is very heavy duty.

I want one. Looks like a nice scoot indeed. Aren't you glad you pay attention to me every now and then? ;D The brakes and wheels are hefty for a 150cc. I agree, the front fender looks silly way up there. I'm not sure why they do that on so many scooters? I think it would look sweet if you removed that fender completely and dropped the front an inch or two. The back already looks good since it doesnt have the gap a 10"-13" wheeled scoot has. I'm looking forward to checking it out in person. a windscreen that is very heavy duty. Bulletproof? |

Nicely appointed scoot, Bob, tach, nice glove boxes, rear disc. I love those flat floors. Great for a gasoline jug etc. Wish my Derbi had one. Nice color too. My first scooter was blue. My brother just got his concealed carry permit do you have one?

Well i got pulled over last night doing 53 in a 25. Cop asked me if it was a 250cc scooter i told him no it wasn't it was a 150cc. Im not going to lie to him, Ive known him since i moved here. He said he had to impound the bike and arrest me due to reckless and negligent driving and for doing more than twice the speedlimit. So he goes through the whole speel, pat me down, searches me and handcuffs me and puts me on the hood of the cop car. At this point im like F*ck how in the hell am i going to explain this to every one lol. So he tells me not to move. That sob gets on my scooter and takes off, he leaves me face first on his hood with the dash cam in my face. he drives by me yelling yee-haw several times at like 50ish mph. this goes on for a few minutes. He comes back and telling me im in a bunch of trouble, I was just getting ready to open my mouth and he said had you going didnt i??? I was was like wtf man? Thats not cool...
He said he wanted to scare me...lol... Well it worked... He said get it tagged asap, I told him about not receiving the correct mco and told him it would take a few days to a week or so to get the right one. He said no prob just try to keep in under 30. He did read me the riot act and all that good stuff. It was an interesting night last night. On the bright side of things the bike will do 53 mph.......lol

If I got pulled over in Preston doing 53MPH I would get the book thrown at me for real. Luckily our police force spends most of it's time either sitting in the gas station/Subway or sitting in the police station.
