Nice bar weights and indicators. I like the little lights on the bars - are they reflectors?

Saw a guy tearing around Cavendish Square on a Runner today - and he had L plate on! Yours must be even faster!

Cheers guys..

Took it up to 90 on the clock,so probably about 80 in reality.Was a bit wobbly at that speed,but no more than expected.It's a lot lighter than a GTS,but was stable.Here's a pic in a layby.Note curly shiny pipe...

I ment the body - seen quite a few with the reg re-mounted, higher up and that section shortend or removed which I think looks much better. Though now you've said it, I'd agree with you about the shock as well. Keep us posted with pic's and reports.

it would really anoyy the chav-peds. Laughing emoticon

i do now and it clearly states *250IE* on the side??

if your on a 50 (flat out 50mph), and see a vespa with 250IE written on it, why try and race it?

YOU KNOW ITS GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT!


its always the scooters without SPONSORS AND *RACING* written on that are the fastest.
