I see and hear a lot of peds/scoots on my way to work and generally riding around but I find that my GT125 (2005) has quite a deep and throaty sound in comparison to other 125s on the road.

Is the GT125 a sportier scooter in comparison to other makes and models?

Sounds like your scooter has bigger parts underneath.

Definately not. Ive riden a few 125s and none sound like mine. My boss has the very sought after Honda PSi 125 and his sounds tame compared to mine.

Has it got a standard exhaust silencer? Have you checked that there's no leakage (slip on joint where graphite gasket goes or from the cylinder head)?
