Top speed run on Stig's Liberty150i ABS

[Stig / Major Tom]

First full throttle run in a couple of years....on any scooter.
155cc, 3-valve, A/C engine...big wheel step-thru scooter.
Speedo settled on 61/62MPH.
6,600 miles on scoot, Shell Nitro 93, tires at 29/31PSI..
NEW: Iridium NGK & belt & stock rollers and recent valve check.
6'3"+, 255lb rider bolt upright with 4X modular helmet, flat road, 56°F, no wind, small stock Piaggio fly screen with plenty of glare-back😊
So, probably actual of around 55MPH*.
Windblast untied my scarf passing Young's Jersey Dairy.

Went back to pick up my scarf. Young's is probably THE most popular family-run spot in Ohio. 1.2 million visitors a year.

That speed sounds about right. The best that I got my Honda SH150 was around 65 mph. I am glad that you are having good luck with it and I hope that you get a lot more joy ridden miles on it.

That's what my 150 2 valve  People would run and the 4 valve Lambretta uno 150 would do about the same on the speedometer.  With about 20# less rider weight.  I figure speedometer has about a 6% margin of error with a electronic speed sign, did not use gps.

That upright riding position doesn't lend itself to speed....but, like my son found on his advedventure style CB500X - compared to his lay-on-tank R6 - it sure is comfortable.
One Eurotrash PCX owner sarcastically  likened it to a "perched on a toilet" riding position.
