Super 8 150 / Re: What do you think of the Super 8 ?

No fogging problems with mine in the FL. humidity but the clock is not working properly. It will not let you correct it since day one. Dealer said would have factory send new head but have heard nothing form either one yet...

I did a lot of research on scooters and found this 150 to be the best handling and riding of all. It is very stable with the 14" tires and very forgiving with the bumps so all in all Im very happy with it...

Super 8 150 / Re: Top speed
« on: June 15, 2009, 06:05:42 PM »
I have 450 miles on mine and I get a top speed of 61mph ever since breakin time over. I weigh 250# so I guess that is a good speed.

I wanted to put a YOSHIMURE exhaust muffler on the bike. They have had one for the 50cc super8 but not the 150. This past mo. they came out with one for the 150 but after talking with thier tech dept. today I will pass on buying a quote "preformance muffler" from them.
I asked the tech for a dyno print out to see if it really would do any thing (preformance wise) for the $350 price tag... I was told that it was "to small to fit on the dyno?" there for no preformance results were aviable or would be in the future !!!
I said wow so i pay 3 1/2 bills for a muffler that does nothing and they said " its for looks and sound only !!

Oh wow a do-nothing $350 piece of junk, just what we need ,right...

I was told by the shop I bought my scooter at that YOSHIMURE EXHAUST was the hot ticket item in racing/preformance mufflers.
I guess we as scooter riders don't qualify as a market that needs a little added zip in our bikes.
