After a 100/125 Scooter, but which are the best to look out for? Want a faster than average scooter, but not above average price! Will be buying a used one

Speedfights are only 50cc or 100cc. If you can get a 125cc no point getting a 50cc...

Should be easy, I would try and get one off a 'mature' owner if I was you though. (No sports exhausts or anything)

Journey distance

Rookie · World Chat Champion Joined: 09 Feb 2005 Karma :

That's your choice, as far as you like!

Comfortably, as you're using A roads only, I reckon 150 miles is going to be pushing it.

McGee · O RLY? Joined: 24 Jun 2005 Karma :

Well ya gotta stay off the motorway but you can take them pretty much any where with in reason, me and mate made a camping trip into a 112 mile haul into wales then we had to do the whole lot back again. So at the end of the day its if your willing to stick to the a&b roads and take the arse about tit way there. also the seats can hurt your ass after a while and they offer very little excitement unless you prat about.

There fun but i'd stick to town use Thumbs Up

So how fast does a Runner go, and how fast does a Speedfight go?

I prefer the looks of the Speedfight, but is it a no no?

Josh|RD125LC · World Chat Champion Joined: 08 Sep 2004 Karma :

YP125 Majesty's are quite cool I think. Don't know if they're as fast as a Runner 125 though. They're four stroke whereas the Runner is a smoker so the Runner is bound to be faster, but the Majesty is more comfier.

Ive got a Runner SP125 and with just an aftermarket exhaust on it will top out between 70 and 75mph and reaches those speeds very quick. I believe a Speedfight 100 will hit 60mph max.

McGee · O RLY? Joined: 24 Jun 2005 Karma :

Na man ennit they'll 100-120 flat out!

Bout 60 pug 65-70 runner.

Don't get a Speedfight 100.

A standard Gilera Runner 125 2 Stroke will do between 65-70mph on the flat (indicated). Probably around a true 60-65.

A nicely tuned one can do a lot more than that but do you really want to sacrafice reliabilty and petrol economy for an extra 10mph?

Out of interest, why a scooter over a bike?

All the things you're asking about a bike would generally do better.

Pug Jetforce 125 Compressor is meant to be very good - has a supercharger! Very Happy

Would certainly be interesting to see one.

I'm personally counting off the days until I can ditch the 'ped.
