Shiny! Black always looks sooooo good when clean. Out of curiosity, why is there a little shine on the front tire? You don't have some product on there like you would on a car, do ya'? If so - bad idea....

It's a stock bike for now. These are the reflectors that came with it. Wished I bought the S 150 though... A little more power never hurts
Thank you for your post

I very rarely yearn for more poke from my S50...when I'm driving my car, I've usually got to be somewhere like yesterday so when I'm scooting I just enjoy the fact I'm trundling along, enjoying the sights and smells at low speed and can go no faster, so why should I care Laughing emoticon

I like your S. Very shiny

I plan to get a rear rack like that. Does the windscreen make a big difference with the wind?

Hi,
Rear rack works great. I say save your money now for the windshield.
Doesn't do any good other than the vintage looks.
Spend that $150 for something else.
Friendly advise

The rear rack and windscreen look great on your S. Thanks for the info on the windscreen. I'll keep my money then
Mine is white and completely stock...For now. And it's actually quite different from yours, the US version has a lot of additions that the european version doesn't. Those reflectors near the front tire and on the sides, the indicators below the handlebars and I think yours has an enginge kill-switch too.

It is awesome 8) was hard not to go for black because I always do...but I'm still happy about my orangeness.

Still procrastinating about getting a rear rack...but it looks good on that one

My 2006 LX150 has the digital clock too, wish it had a thermometer like the GTS250ie does, it is so handy to know how hot it is getting, so you know how much more water to drink.. The clock helps alot...

Great scoot, and glad to hear your loving it as much as we love ours!!
