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.

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.

In the top picture youll also see the external electric water pump... which will be on the new quasar evolution coming soon...

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... |
