Hmm. I have had my Agility 125 for about 3 months. I was thinking about getting a Super 8 150, but based on this thread, I am thinking that I should stay with my Agility 125. Given that the Super 8 has 25 more ccs, should it not go 5 mph faster. What I was hoping that 60 mph (the top speed on my Agility 125) would be easier (lower RPM) on the Super 8 150.

Now that my Super 8 150 is broken in I can normally get up to 60 mph WOT on level roads (I weigh about 200 lbs).

Simply for perspective... I had a Yamaha 250, 2t, two cylinder street bike. I added two 24mm Mikuni's, and gutted the OEM pipes. That bike stock struggled to run at 70mph. After the mods I gained 8-10 mph.
So 60 is pretty darned good for a single Cyl. 150 4 stroke.

If you want more, get a Hayabusa!

Yes, I think 60 mph (70 indicated) on my 125 (or on a Super 8 150) is very good.  I may jump on a Super 8 if I notice another one coming availabe in my area. One showed up on Craigslist last week. It was $1200, and <500 miles. It was the mostly yellow,  with some blue, model. My first impression, and my delay, was because, it was just too flashy/ie yellow for me. But in hindsite, I could have just changed plastics on part of it. I realy like the red/black Super 8. I also like the look of the Kymco Quannon 150, but I do not want to go motorcycle at this point. I want just the size of bike that I need for commuting, and I like the CVT for easy of operation.

Never look at the color... PAINT/PAINT/PAINT. Same for women.
