After a lot of blood, sweat and tears, I've finally finished my Super Monza scoot, though unfortunately it's a bit late to make the most of it this year, as still have to get it registered etc.
It's not perfect - the donor scoot I bought contained every possible bad Ebay/fake part that existed - so replaced all of that and just made the best of what I had left (basically not much more than the frame & forks!), as couldn't afford a paint job as well this year, so used stickers (which weren't that easy to apply!), but do plan to get sprayed in a very similar theme when money permits.
It's full Carbon bodywork, Super Monza Ultimate engine, exhaust etc., Targa line rear shock and Frank Sanderson double disc on the front, built from the frame upwards.
Anyway, hope you all like.
Cheers,
Tom

another one on the road to give each other some feedback
thanks for the info on the probe , fitted it today so fingers crossed
i see the seats positioned along way back , think you will have to take it easy in the first two gears or you will be on your arse ,

Thanks everyone for your kind comments
I've only been for a quick spin around the block so far, but all I can say is wow!
I've owned a lot of scoots over the last 30 years, raced in Group 4 from 2002-2006 on a 30bhp Kegra/JB motor, and been racing a Yamaha R6 for the last 3 years, but I can already tell, even with this quick blast that this is one impressive motor/set-up! The powerband/surge is so fierce when it kicks in that I couldn't keep the front wheel down!
As soon as I've got it registered etc. and got a few miles on it, I'll give some further feedback and get it on the Dyno at Charlies, though I should imagine it's going to be a very similar output/curve to Steve's (Chapman).
Cheers for now,
Tom
