New Scoot Tuesday

[rick71]

I took the Scarabeo 250 out today, for the first time  since I got the new scoot. It felt really small, in size, compared to the X500. It does get to 60 mph real fast, though, and the seat is nice and soft.

The X500 went in for the 600 mile maintenance last night (and the plastic repair) it's on a pickup on the way home right now!!

Woohoo!!

Let the Xcitment begin again!  Sounds like you like yours as much as I like mine.   And that's a whole bunch!  Still just as stoked as I can be about it. 

With new plastic and tuned up, it'll be kinda like getting it new all over again only better cause now you don't have to take it easy for break in.

Got the X500 back. Rode it to dinner, then rode it for an hour. It was the first time in almost 26 years I did 60 mph on a 2 wheeler in the dark for more than 2-3 minutes. I was fairly nervous at times. I remember now why I don't like crossing draw bridges in the dark. The ride went well, though.

The scoot sounds ... deeper, and I think it is idling a couple of hundred  RPMs less.

Time to start budgeting for accessories.... diamond plate foot rests, backrest with hand rail and plate for top box, top box, soft cases. Hopefully nitrogen shocks will increase the weight carrying capacity and won't cost too much.

... hmmmm... a blue and a white nitrogen shock on a red scoot...

Thanks. I originally wanted a black one, then i thought I'd "settle" for white. Then I got such a deal... $800 off, and no freight/set up fee. Ya just gotta love those red scoots :-)

I love the white, and blue on the red scoot. It is a little disappointing when a new part doesn't stand out.
