Not a fan of big screens myself. That's what I dislike about the new Kymco 150i People

Someone's pride and joy. Looks like a lot of work has gone into that. Would love to have a ride of a BMW boxer for the experience, and a Moto Guzzi as well.

How did your tank get crushed? I am enjoying my Piaggio Medley a lot but may upgrade to the Beverly in a couple of years.

Recently purchased a 50cc 2 stroke PGO Ligero (called a Metro in the States) and it needed new rings which have just been fitted. What procedure should I follow to run them in and for how long?

Technical | How To / Re: Downtown 200i cutting out at idle - but only after cold start.

My Kymco LIKE 125 had the same problem and I thought it may have been the autochoke but one day I just raised the idle a fraction and that solved the problem, never cut out again.

General Discussion / New Honda Forza 300

Saw this article yesterday and thought I would share it here. Good looking scooter with some great features but the on road cost for Australia is almost 9 grand, that's a lot of money. The Yamaha XMAX 300 is a thousand dollars cheaper.

I'm thinking it could be the carby but you may need to find someone to have a good physical look at it.

I have two Racing Fly air jackets which I actually had to buy from the US as I could not get them here in Australia and am very happy with them. Very light with protection. I have the hi viz yellow and the black cafe version.

We have the new People S 150 in Australia and I don't think I would buy one. It has abs and the new 10w 150 engine but to me it looks cheap and I don't like the look of the screen it comes with, it just looks too big. Plus the price is very high now compared to a Like 200i and the one I saw was painted matt silver. I must admit I would be happier if my Medley was white instead of matt silver. The only thing with the Medley is that there are heaps of stickers and painted plastic parts to not let the matt silver stand out too much and I think the People S needs that as well.
