A scooter-related question. What do you ride and why?

Wow, that is charity. Also kind of expensive for a 50cc scoot. More then $1,200 is a bunch of change. Good luck with the scoot.

baring in mind that a 2010 kymco agility here costs £1500 and i got the agility and a whole lot more besides.

heres the site and as you can see at the bottom of the homepage they are a registered charity

Dig it, Bleys, you're already on the most fun ride with the X, but the Super 8 is just as awesome. It's light and quick with a well balanced feel and the 14 inch wheels are perfect for leaning and take the jolts out of the road. Very smooth, very fast, very cool.

It's the sport bike of GY6 150 scooters.

Tadaaaa!!!


I got a black Super 8 because it's totally coool. It looks great and even better when I'm on it. Lol! Whenever I pass buildings, I always turn my head and look at my reflection on the glass walls and grin 


Riding bikes started when I was in High School in the 70's. Rode some motocross with a Honda Elsinore and Yamaha Enduros. After that were cars, cars, cars, quarter mile drag racing and slaloms. I went back to bikes in the year 2003 when cheap Chinese bikes became very popular here. Bought myself a Chunlan CL100. When gas prices soared, I again decided to get another bike and fell in love with the Super 8. The rest is history.....

I ride a Super 8 2t 50 because I was too stupid to get a 150 instead.

Sounds like a correctable error to me.  I sometimes feel that way about my XC250 - "should have got the XC500 - but then I stop and ask if I really need to go faster than 80mph.  Unfortunately, sometimes the answer is yes

I am trapped in a small area that I can only get out on a road that is 60mph. Not very safe when I am going 37 and the cars are going 65+.

im usually playing with the traffic on a daily basis, most of the roads i ride on are 60 but all the cagers are doing way over that. i'll be glad once i've upgraded the engine.

I ride a p250, and I love it because of the larger size wheels. I ride long distances and needed something that could deal with the speed. I ride 30 miles one way to work and 80 miles one was to school. I have other cars ( and Audi s4 and a Nissan Truck) but riding is just way more fun. It feels like traveling not just going some place. I am prepping my scoot for a ride of 3200 miles round trip later this summer and can think of no other way I would want to see the Rocky Mountains than on my Scoot.

Sounds like a great trip.  I hope you share some pics of the journey.  Scoot safely and have fun.
