Thanks boo. I'm super stoked on getting the Zuma. I'll be putting some big saddle bags on it to carry my mining gear. Its already got a shad case so with saddle bags i'll be set.

I do like that HD Sig and the ride it home idea would be great but i have a local Yamaha shop some what close by and think the Zuma should be fun. I  really liked the Honda you recommended but it was out of my league for now. May be in the future.

You guys have a great forum. I'm new to forums this last year and this is only the third, aside from the Q on ZumaF, that i have participated in. You guys run a Great Forum - Thanks Again.

Thanks guys

I'm going to test ride the Zuma on Friday before i buy it. I was set on a Sym HD 200 when i first started searching but couldnt find a used one anywhere and couldnt afford a new one because id have to ship it 200 + mls to get it. I really like the Sym HD though and the 16" tires are a big reason why.
As for off roading i'll be puttn along enjoyn the scenery - i've never been a speed freak.
I have had a couple questions up on the zuma forum for three days but no one has responded - kinda disapointed in that but you guys have been great - thanks

Thanks Bet and Klav -  i just found the pcx yesterday and have been researching madly. I figured i could change tires to bigger down the road but the dual braking makes me leery - just read that it had this this morning. I'd say about 1/3 of my usage will be on dirt. I also found 2013 Zuma 125 with only 400 mls that a recently retired guy's selling to move to europe. He wants $3500 but said he'd deal at $3000. I'm debateing offering $2800 but want to look at the pcx first but cant do that until i travel 220 mls to look at it on friday. The Zuma is only 50 MLs away and comes with a shad, xxl helmet and gloves.

I like that the pcx is a 150 and is liquid cooled. I'll be going up some steep mountains and dirt roads on the weekends and figured the higher cc's as well as liquid cooling would be better than the 125cc and air cooling in late summer 90-100 degree temps. Am I looking at this wrong? The Zuma is built more twords offroad use like i'll be doing but it seems the PCX is a better deal at $2500 than the Zuma around $3000.

I love everything about the Zuma except lighting and that its a 125. Seems a 150 would be better for highway use. And going up mountain roads. I'm not worried about speed as much i just figure that if i ride the 125 with it wide open everywhere it will ware out quicker than a 150 not road at full throttle all the time. Once again could be wrong - i haven't ridden in yrs so all theory.

I'm new to scoots so am unsure - please help with your advise - Thanks!

Hello all,
I've been thinking about getting a new 2015 Super 8 150x to use as my daily commuter. I live in a very rural area and have a 50 ml a day drive across a beautiful valley with very little traffic, more alfalfa fields and cows than people. I also hope to use the scooter as my weekend mining bike so I'd be going up some steeps and on dirt roads. I'm 6 ft and 215 lbs.

My Question is am I asking to much of a 150 cc Scooter such as the Super 8. I'm trying to stay cheap but want to be safe and reliable. I've ridden bikes yrs ago but am new to scooters.

Any opinions or advice would be great - Thanks
Adam
