It's true. And they want crazy money for them. yep been in 2 minds just for buying a frame and building one up so i know its not been messed about with Even none runner seem to want crazy money though. Was one on Gumtree a little while ago. Top end had been left off. Out in rain for five years. Still wanted £500! I just paid more for a 2016 model, than I did for a brand new one 12 years ago. And it's far from perfect. But best I could find. They are going for more money than a newer low miles four stroke. |

There were a lot of little things that had to be done and unfortunately I did not take pictures of everything which I kind of regret now... I spents a lot of hours taking care of all of the little things but all in all everything got sorted out. After all of the work I started to break in the new cylinder and piston and I started to get all of the small tuning sorted out.   |

For the first few hundred kilometers I was using a Dellorto 21mm carb but I felt that it was unnecessary because I am only running a base cylinder kit. I also wanted to reduce the fuel consumption as this is a daily ridden scoot. I tried using a Dellorto 17.5mm carb and that worked out great. It still needs some fine tuning but I am happy with the results. The last time I measured the top speed it was 99 km/h. I got an averege consumption of 4.5 L/100km or 52 miles to galon. I think there is room for improvement. There is also room for improvement in the cvt area but for now I will enyoj riding it and slowly get all of the little thing buttoned up. Here are some pics of the complete build   |

Thank you! It is far from perfect but it is much better than it used to be. And now it is actually rideable and safe!

Beautifully done. I like the work with fiberglass. Thank you! Patching the holes and fixing broken pieces of plastic seemed easiest to do with fiberglass. |
