Hey guys,
Just looking for a bit of advice. I'm looking at purchasing one of these bikes having just sold my car and piaggio mp3 125.
I'm currently doing the knowledge for the black cabbing so will be doing a lot of riding around central London with having to do u-turns with the odd bit of filtering.
I found it very capable doing it on the 125 but the bike was a bit sluggish when accelerating and I wouldn't attempt to overtake anyone as i know it wasn't capable.
I'm looking at getting a more all round bike as I'll be using it to commute to work but may have to use it on the motorway.
Would the Yourban be sluggish in acceleration like the 125cc?
Would the weight of the 500lt make it harder for manuverabiltiy as I coped well with the weight of the old one that weighed 230kg.
What's the handling like of the 500lt at lower speeds?
If I done the mods of exhaust, sliders, variation and clutch would it make much of a difference to the performance of the Yourban?
Any info would be much appreciated.
