I am 54.

Just note one thing:

The drive plate and the clutch plate has a determined dimension, whatever it be.

When the first is closed, the belt runs at the high part of it.  When the second one it is open, the belt runs at the small part of it.

¿When it is closed and the other opened? when you ride fast. There is no more diameter for the drive plate, and there is no less diameter for the cluth plate.

At this point, if you want to get the engine with less revolutions, you should need to get a bigger drive plate (with more diameter), because the diameter of the other part can not be minor.

You can't get less revolutions at a determined ponit.

The Malossi variator I noted that everytime the motor went more revolutionated. Always, except when you pass from 85 miles/h, where occurs what I told you before, the max and the min diameters. From this point, whatever increasing of speed is caused exclusively by the increasing of rpm of the engine. This is valid for all variators.

Here you can ride wherever you want, except 50 cc on highways.

There are several licenses. A1 since125cc or 15hp. A2 up to 47 hp. and A for more than it. You need to have A2 for 2 years before ti try to get the full A.

I know that, but ... note this:

In spain, (I think all europe probably), you can ride an motorcycle with 125cc. másx, and 15 hp. max.  having the car driving license 3 years old. There's no necessary additional license for it.

I had never motorcycle before. But... 3 years ago, I thougt about the wonders of having one.

One friend let me test yours a saturday. The monday I was buying one for myself. A Donwntown 125 cc 15 hp. (here named "Superdink" instead of downtown,)

One year and a half later  I got a driving license for big motorcycles. I bought my xciting 500i R abs.

The Downtown is still mine, it is my son who rides this.

I want to say... if I have a scooter this is for comfortability, and because I use very much my moto (10000 miles in 8 months). Here we say "moto" for all kind of motorcycles, including scooters. I have the capability (also legal) to ride whatever kind of moto.

That's the reason why I think: If someone despises to anyone for that, it is because doesn't know the capabilities of a -specially if it is big- scooter.

But I have to confess: My soul it is with the motos like Harley Davidson. The problem it is that I should need to have two motos; the one for working days, the xciting; the other one for weekends, H.D.   Because I earn no more money, I can have only one, jajajaja.   My other vehicle it is a Ford. 

Note something:

The red motorcycle behind me, it is an Honda NC 700 x

ÇThis motorcycle has the fuel tank under the driver, The place where it is habitual to find this, there are something similar to a top case. It is a rounded box made in order to keep your helmet inside. The engine has been displaced to a place lower.

My scooter (an xciting 500i R abs), has the same configuration or similar.  Also has two shanks like watherver motorcycle. Double brake disk on the front...  there is no difference. 

An scooter has been called in this way, to a motorcycle with small wheels, a place for keep your legs and feet, a shield ...

The big ones scooters of today are other thing.

The result it isto see many motorcycles togheter, of very different kinds, like naked, choppers, tourism, big scooters, and also sportifs.

I have ride 10000 miles in 8 months with my xciting 500i R abs. I live at Spain.

I bought the scooter with 5000 miles.

At 7000, the clutch started to do a lot noise. Had to be replaced covered by the warranty.

That's the only problem I had.

The motorcycle has already two years.

When I bought it came with a Malossi variator. The fuel consumption was too high. I changed again the variator using the original, but I left the malossi spring at clutch.
That's the way I like my xciting

Ah, the date that you can see at the video, is not correct. I filmed today...
