Motojitsu.....bought a BMW C400X scooter?

[Iahawk]

interesting thought on the reliability (or lack of)...well, Motojitsu puts out a lot of content so he'll be putting many miles on his new scoot and will be posting many videos. it will be fun to follow along and see what kind of experience he has with it.

You’re right Hawk, it should be interesting. Keep us posted.

@FJTRoy,
l don't want to complain too much about our MOTs here. Anyway at the end the driver or owner is responsible for all he/she does. This "Dragster" there looks interesting as a project. Though from wheel and frame geometry must be a challenge to drive.
@Neil,
yes you are right about "Flash Gordon" style. Though my thoughts are more inclined towards Batman and his famous "Batmobile" which l adored and followed in my youth.
But as an engineer l also see the many steps from having an vision coming, towards drawing board and finally into the workshop to put your intellectual babe in real shape. This is what l meant with wonderful, besides in my opinion the choice of color combination.

Hey Ruffus it's "horses for courses".  It may not float my boat, but if it does it for you, that's fine. 

I never subscribed to the internecine rivalry between biker groups (Sports v Cruiser v scooter etc.), if it's right for you, that's OK.  For example I once rode the PC1 (Pacific Coast Highway) on a full dress Harley.  I'd never buy one, but it was PERFECT for that ride.

I walked and hitched the PCH from SoCal to 'Frisco a few times in my Clarks.
At that speed one can really savor the views!
I won't buy any other Desert Boot!

That would be one very long walk Tom! I did it t’other way round, SF to LA. Peculiarly, a few years later I rode the Ring of Kerry in the west of Ireland and it reminded me so much of PCH - just 20f cooler!

My plan was to walk on and camp on the beach from Ensenada to the Big Sur. A wealthy Mexican sent out his ranch hand on a Honda trail bike, with a pistol ....to dissuade me from settling in on "his" cliff one night. Had to sleep under his floodlights on the beach.
That was maybe the single low point....of many, many much better days!

Sounds idyllic Tom - other than the grumpy Mexican of course!

and his most recent video, of the Master doing his usual practice exercises of weaves, tight circles and emergency braking on his scooter. Can anyone else do a tight u-turn, one handed with your knee down? ha ha, not me!

See his lights pulsing in that vid Hawk. Is that normal in the US?

Neil, no, that is how the camera records his led lights, they are not really pulsing. He has mentioned this a number of times as people frequently comment about it (it looked the same on his big BMW Adventure bike..everyone wanted to know where they could get something to pulse their own headlights).

Thanks Hawk, that makes sense!
