At 320lbs....55mph?
You would be riding constanly with the throttle jammed to the stop.
Not a good way to drive a car, nor a scooter.
Also, the short wheelbase and light weight of this scooter would not give you a stable or reassuring ride at that speed, especially when trucks pass you!!.
You would need to give the seat a thorough rebuild to add more padding (the seat of this scooter is a major complaint of many owners)
I think you need to step up in scooter size...in the Kymco line, or test a SYM 200 at the very least.
You will most likely regret your purchase if you buy too small a scooter. If you get the correct size...it will be a blast to ride & own!

I'm back! Just could not pull the trigger on the 300i, went with the Sym RV200 Evo. The dealer is 100mi away but for $2300 less I had to go. Only got 80mi on it so far but it seems to have all the power and speed that I need,and is fairly comfortable to ride. I want to thank Stig for the recomendation.

Thanks everybody this is just the info I need. I'll probably look into the 300i as the only dealers within 90 mi are Genuine & Kymco. I do'nt really care for the sort of cross between bike and scooter that the big scooters have, I like the look and seating position of the step through. I'll keep you posted with what I end up getting. Thanks again for all your input I'm really glad I found this forum.

Hi everybody. I'm new to this whole scooter thing , I just bought a "14"agility125. I really like it but it's just a little to small for what I need. I got it for going to work and the whole ride is on state &U.S. hwy with 2 big hills & quite a bit of wind most of the time, the hills and any headwind keeps me down to about 45. I was looking at the 200i and was wondering if it could keep me at 55. By the way I'm just a little guy of 320#. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,.
