Looks great. Should get you through the traffic in no time.

No neon lights or 'racing' exhausts though - promise?

Bit tricky to filter down the middle of the Cambridge gridlock on a Saturday morning! (and most other times too)

Just discovered that the underseat compartment is smaller than my current ET4 125 vespa and can only take the Italian "Vespa" helmet. Doh!!

I was quite tempted by one of these are Pit/Paddock transport.



125CC Superchargered Scooter - 30bhp as standard, 50bhp has to be on the cards with a re-map and more serious charge cooling

Martins lived life to the full, so isn't too far off Ozzy Ozbourne physically. I'm sure he'll be fine on a quad

Be careful and drive defensivly.

I see at least once a month an accident in town involving scooters like that and cars, sometimes with fatal consequences

How very caring of you Justin!! I promise to be careful.

Matt, what is that scooter your talking about, more details please.

I actually tested an MV Augusta Brutale the other week but felt like a hamster perched on the back of a concord!

I am waiting for the next generation Ducati Monster. If they ever decide to build it!

Its the new Peugeot Jet Force.

125CC Fuel Injected Supercharged - 19bhp as standard (looks like it was turned down from the orignal spec ), supposed to sound very very nice for a scooter.

More details here:

Interesting. Lacks the Iti charm of the Vespa though. My lass likes the Vespa and its the biggest cc scooter I could find. (not being allowed a real bike and all!)

I wonder if there are any tuners or chips for it? Now that would be interesting.

Vespa 250 GTS with 30+ hp?

Any thoughts?

Greg
