Well the water cooled 125cc IE engine has arrived at long last in the UK dealers. This is the new engine with the plastic cover on the left (no corrosion!) and the filler and separate water pump on the right. Now also in yellow. Nice....

Confusion - do you have a pic of this new cover?

The yellow is very nice, saw a yellow Super the other day. Lovely, not the mobile custard I was expecting.

The Super comes in yellow now? I was thinking that would probably be the next color the offered it in. Wonder if that will make it Stateside.

I like it when it's sunny; not so sure when it's grey and murky.

Heres a few pictures of the engine... its basically a quasar now, and not a leader despite the name... youll notice no starter bendix inside the belt case, instead its got a pre-enagaged starter motor and starter clutch running inside the RH engine case exactly the same set up as a 250/300 does.

cheers for the pics i'm pleased to say that thanks to doug's patient tuition and many hours of staring at my engine with haynes manual in hand, i now know what most of it is

not a great fan of the yellow - are they in league with dewalt on that scheme?

Yellow does seem to be the most 'visible' colour on the road, so that's one good thing for it!

Nice, that yellow is darker than the yellow that was used last season isn't it? I like it more than the old yellow at least in those photos.

I love it. What is the list price for you Blighty-types?

I admit a sick fascination with the prices that you are forced to pay for these scooters... it's bad enough over here but then I see your prices with the pound sterling in front of it and, wow But then again, I'm a cheap bastard anyway!

A seriously nice scoot, and I do want one. Maybe someday they will come over here...
