Do that with Agility R14 if you can. :)

I hope you understand that you lost a bit of performance, especially acceleration compared to OEM wheels...

Yes, I understand that.
For a OEM size tire I had to wait, and after a incident involving a wet road, a pedestrian crossing, an old lady, and me sliding less then 3 feet in front of her on Cheng Sh*t tires waiting was not a option.  ;)

What got lost on the bottom went to the top. I'm sure there is another 1-2 mph there now.

Probably lost a bit of agility (pun intended) too.

Yup, I will probably put lighter rollers when it's time to change the stock ones.  ;)

Nah, he put a wider tire then stock, the rims are/were 16 inch.

THE 125CC DON'T COME WITH 16 INCH RIMS, THEY COME WITH 12 INCH

THE 125CC DON'T COME WITH 16 INCH RIMS, THEY COME WITH 12 INCH

Um, there's both versions available, it's easy to google.

The Agility City 125 and 150 is available (different markets don't offer all models)
with 100/80-16 and 120/80-16 tire sizes (front & rear).

Yeah, it's the Agility City in the pictures..
I also own the old one with 12" tires but I'd swap for the new one in a heartbeat.. but
more because of the rear disc brake then because of the tire size.. altho it's probably
better with larger wheels.

I wonder if 140/70-12s would fit on a Agility 125?

I'm ready for an Agility City 125 (or 200/250) to come to the US as well. Not always sure I understand why they do not market more scooter/smally bikes to the US.

I understand the City 125s are slower off the line, but that would be fine with me. I think I checked and the closest I could come would be to buy a Agility CIty 50 from Canada.

I have looked into "importing" a NON DOT APPROVED bike into the US. The fee's, and modifications required are more that twice the price of the bike... How bad do you want one?
