Ok so after it all boils down i think im gonna have to get a 150 cc or better scooter...
There are just too many hills around here and after some upgrades the a50 just isnt cutting it.
This was my first scooter or motorbike ever and has been a great experience...
Am looking to see if any of you guys have any suggestions...
Have been looking all over the internet reading and researching.
Think i will end up getting a piaggio fly 150, but have also looked at the
SYM hd200 evo and the vespa gts 250.
Anyone out there have any experience on these or others you would recomend?
Thanks!!!

How about the new kymco k-pipe 125 plus it has 4 gears which will help with the hills and is semi auto so no clutch so still easy to ride, if it ends up anything like the honda c90 it will run forever.......

Right you are,, even a Chinese C90 clone will last forever... ;) I had one...

i love the looks and wright up on the k pipe. will be my next ride i think. not happen for a wile as will be a newer car on the cards first as its showing its age but then it is a kia lol should i admit that? ;D
-
I may get the k pipe 50 if i can ride it on my car licence not sure if it will be classed as a moped or not with it having gears, will not be upgrading until my ag50 is 3 years old a good 20 months away, i dont like keeping them after 3 years as if you start to take into account mot tests and new tyres etc and other parts that are close to there wear limit it can be near cost effective to get a nice shiny new machine and no worrys about mot again for another 3 years......

Checked out the k pipe and it looks cool but looking for another scooter.
I like the ease of use, twist and go, and storage under seat....
Seems like the piaggio 150 might be a good choice for me.
-
go with the 125 agilty if you get a dummy behide the counter at the dmv you can get it taged as a 50 stell see a lot people doing that here.

Funny, I have a Super 8 but curious about a smaller scoot...hmmm ::) ::) ::)

I never understood why Piaggio's and Vespa's are priced so differently. Even more confusing to me - why Vespa's are more expensive. Piaggio's have larger tires, more goodies and (IMHO) better styling. They share the same engine, but priced upside down, I think.
-
Prices are not about the scooters... they're about Corporate stuff, profit margins, employee benefits, corporate debts, executive bonuses, etc....

Well so far from my research the piaggio scooters are basically vespa engines and components
sent to China to be assembled. And the piaggio body panels etc are plastic compared to vespas
all metal body etc. That and you are paying more for vespas name. Otherwise I have heard good
things about the fly 150 and piaggios in general.

xxxxxxxxx 2 get the fly 150 I got to drive one the other day for about 3 hours and I loved it.
that scoot was made for bigger people and can handle all that............

What have you done for mods? I've derestricted and have a naraku variator. I touched 52 today but like you said the hills still kill me even with 5.5g weights and a 1000rpm spring.
-
Thanks for the input blue sounds like what I'm after....
As far as my ag 50 its a 2012 with just over 1000 km full deresrict, and
have put on the malossi multavar, running 5 g rollers, a green
malossi torque spring and have a naraku sport clutch and clutch bell.
It goes 45-50 on flats and have had it 55+ downhill (speedometer)
its just a dog on hills around here dropping to 30 on most.
Didn't want to mess with the pipe due to jetting issues.
All in all its a great little scoot and again was my first motorbike of any kind so no regrets.
Will probably still keep it just need a bigger one for the hills and to go on some
Roads with 45-50 mph speed limits.
-
Would a stiffer torque spring help? Does the aftermarket clutch make a noticeable difference? I was thinking of swapping for a 150 engine in my a50 but the mounts are too different. I'll probably swap my ruckus this winter.
-
well threr is a lot of us running 1500 rpm springs they seem to be better. try 1500 torque spring and clutch spring...
have toyed with it thought of sports clutch and bell, but not heard anyone that has benifited from this enough.
-
I have tried multiple torque springs and it doesn't really make a whole lot of difference.
I like the new clutch and bell just seems nice and smooth/tight.
If I was in Florida or somewhere with a lot of flat roads the a50
would be great, just too many hills around me...
-
Even after a new clutch or spring or any new thing you put in the tran. you well find it well last only so long.It gets worn down fast your better of just ride tell you realy need it and safe some coin.

I cant fault my Vespa T5, goes like a rocket and eats up hills for breakfast. I love it ;D
All metal, 4 manual gears and as a bonus i can even bump start it if i need to. Feels totally solid compared to my Agility and is like night and day riding them. Just been out today for a 3hr ride down by the coast, great fun, sits at 100km/h all day no probs.
