I like it a lot, but I still have my eyes n the 300GTi, also the seat seems like the same Seat on the super 8, not really comfortable. If something it looks more clumsy than our current Scooters.

Of course the 300gti!!  Yes, looks like the same seat as s8 but the mid part is quite deeper and not even designed for pillion riding. Anyway, I think "comfort" was not in the minds of the creators of this.  Actual dimensions reveal that this is actually smaller than the S8. Scoot's small with 180cc EFI engine, triple disc brakes, inverted forks, lower, rear rack not givi box friendly, and hey! no wind screen! This is more of a 20's chewing gum city zipper than a tourer or all-arounder, or even a mid-life toy. Those big mirrors have to go tho. My friend in Taiwan has the 150cc variant. top speed is 83mph. Don't know what figures the 180cc has.

Agreed, lose the mirrors, and get it in Matt Black. Now that would be nice  8)

Kinda looks a little like the newer Speedfights?

Sorry for 'bumping' this thread but i became much interested in this model after seeing it first time a few months ago on internet.

Any chance to see this model in European market? Or will it remain restricted to Asia only? Does anyone know?

Buy my ZX! It's faster, smaller, lighter, handles better, has MUCH better components, better looking (IMHO), will last MUCH longer, Real race tires, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect. Plus mine will get you laid at the group rides.

I'm sure I forgot something... ;D

I cant ride the S8's because of that. Same for the agility's. The ZX is/was the highest (seat height) 50cc made, and the only way I can ride that is all the way back on the seat, and feet forward.

Kinda like flying into a wall at 60MPH but you never hit. The wall just keeps moving with you, and you're scared to blink, and make the wall stop. Gotta love 50cc's

I like the blue, although its does look a bit short. May just be the angle in the photo though.

29.5" seat height for the Race king 180....34" seat height ZX-50
You are correct. It is low. I'm not comparing bikes there just giving something to compare too.
All the agility's are 31" so the 180 Race king is TINY. I would love it if I could fit on it

From what I've bin told the if you ever ridden or sat on a Movie150 you've pretty much have bin on the same scooter. I've coveted it since I first saw the Movie and found the Racing 180.
