Speed!
« on: June 18, 2012, 12:53:19 PM »
My Yager 200 gt is well broken in but this year so far been only used for short to medium trips no more than 50 mph.  Early Saturday morning I was out on 290 expressway in Chicago with little traffic and the scoot felt good so I ran it up to 70 mph!!!!  The last 5 mph took a little time but we made it!  I wouldn't want to run there all day (even between 55 and 65 mph I tend to vary the speed) but it's good to know the engine has loosened up a bit and the top end is available.

This is pretty awesome for a <200cc scoot that gets 75-85 miles per gallon!

Mine has gotten slower as the back tire wears down....

Even more amazing considering the Yager is only a 175 cc scooter.

I went on a cruise last Wednesday, had to take a highway for 22 miles, I held it 65-67 mph the whole time, one hill that I had to go up knocked me down to 52 mph

I've got 2500+ on the Yager in 1 year.  I'd have more, but too many bikes/scoots.  Also new GF with 9 year old mandate car travel much of the time!

I'd rather be putting in the big miles on the Yager!
