On the speed side of things I must have been lucky with the 3 ive owned all have hit over 82 mph on various sat navs or apps on my phone current on has hit 84.4 on the limiter way baxk from weston a few weeks ago nearly 82 mph 2 up and I wouldnt say mines a fast one ,
maybe incorrect servicing after market rollers and belts or not having updates on the ecu can be a couse of lower speeds ?
My 7 year old one owes me nothing by virtue that fuel economy and 2 t oil savings in that time alone have paid for it ,
im sure one day it will expire I may get a replacement engine or sell it for parts

75 (satnav) is about tops for mine but that was sat upright, on the flat. With a following wind and on a slope or would probably reach 80 or so. I think all the 90 plus claims come from the massively inaccurate speedo. Mine says 80 when I'm barely touching 70.

Why buy a modern automatic scooter and go to rally's on it? Why not get a motorbike? Aside from the size of the wheels what's the difference?

When did they become vintage geared scooter rallies?

At their birth?

Why don't GTS owners have their own rally (surely ther are enogh of you). You could hold it at Eg Woodford Aerodrome or any other, and do formation flypasts dowm the runway holding each other's left hand in a gay formation? What have Gt GTSie.s etc. got to do with classic scootering aside a badge?
