Scooterotica

Sam its a great bit of kit and makes riding much more pleasurable. I've not got the best out of my 5th yet but 1-4 are much improved over a standard box. Not cheap but definitely worth the expense if you can afford it.

Yes I have, it's in my nearly standard 215 iron barrelled motor and it's an absolute pleasure to ride. Easy to keep in the power band, smooth and no "up and down" between 3rd and 4th (or 4th and 5th in this case) uphill or into a headwind. Try it, you might even like it

Again, think I'll pass and not because of the hassles and challenges people keep reporting on here of issues with fitting them either, but because my 4 speed already works perfectly well on my Mugello setup and I don't have any desire to spend £500 on something I simply don't need.

There's other things I'd spend that kind of money on for my scooter, in fact that budget will likely sort out a few things I've been thinking of doing to the scooter for some time, including replacing my variotronic with an indian stator / flywheel so I can go fully DC, then upgrade the front headlight, then fit a fuel gauge. Though that'll only come to about £300 so still £200 in my pocket
