Stig in the dark
« on: August 03, 2017, 06:20:50 PM »
as usual....






Ate a mouthful of gnats on this part of the ride.
Looking forward to the flyscreen coming in the mail - don't use a screen on small scooters but i liked the Piaggio one.

Again, noted how much better the headlight is - compared to the LIKE200i - don't think I'll need to look at any added lighting on the front. The goofy rear license plate light is really, really bright! The middle picture shows that rear light.

I am 6'3"....and was concerned that, after my pre-purchase test sit ("no test rides 'round these parts Bub!") I was perhaps too optimistic about the scoot's seat & ergonomics. But I can happily report I have no issues with the "fit" of this scooter. The seat is long, and the foot area is bigger than I found on the one People that I sat on a few years ago. I could not really get my 14's in there on the Kymco - no problem with this Liberty.
My knees and big feet have room - and the reach to the grips is comfortable.
Next will take it apart and see what the engine looks like.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Lighting looks real good. How is engine performance with FI on a 150?

Hey,
I've  got 155 under the hood!
Big fan of FI...was introduced to its benefits in my VW's and in the LIKE200I  4 yrs ago.
Breaking in the engine for the next month...but certainly feels plenty peppy and smooth on ride offs. I expect it to equal my LIKE200i. ...
and as with the 2nd gen LIKE 150's- probably have a bit more power and better mpgs. than the ol' LIKE 163's. Big wheels add stability down the road (physics?). ...not that the 12" ers on the LIKE were ever a problem at the speeds I  go.
Fun scoot, so far....

Gee Tom, didn't mean to cut you short on that extra 5cc. Never know when that might come in handy like the time I passed an antique Goldwing on the Highway of Legends near Trinidad, Co on my B400 with Deb on the back. Think we were down to about 25 cresting the summit. That little stunt put the biggest grin on my face. Never know when you might need that little bit of oomph!!
