No! We can't even agree on that :twisted: I've got a courtesy scoot at the moment 4stroke 125 sits comfortably at 60mph disc brakes front and back and very quiet and economical on fuel, what not to like great piece of kit.

It's the future.

Hi, I have only ridden it once and I had my eldest son on the back, so I was concentrating on the road ahead as it was pitch black, and on the unlit highways of deepest darkest Cheshire. I just quickly glanced at the speedo which was reading 60 mph and would imagine this is far more accurate than a 55 year old lambretta one.

Like I say mightily impressed with it. And I thought I would never ever say that about an auto, how wrong can you be.

Thanks cgt75b

I have a 2015 PX125, the speedo reads 65mph when you are doing 50mph....and there is nothing 'comfortable' about it....its wheezing like an asthmatic pensioner.

Still...if you like the scooter, that's all that matters :)

You're using the wrong oil fella. Spry 'crisp 'n dry'. Better than that Mazola crap.
