I'm considering getting a bigger scooter like a vxr200 or 180sp once I've passed my test next month. At first I thought of the two stroke 180 but then I started considering the VXR200 which should be more reliable and cheaper to run but apparently not as quick or as good at wheelies. It will be my main bike for a few weeks until I get a bigger one and then the scooter will be mainly used for commuting and fun in bad weather. What do you think I should get for reliability and still some fun?
The VXR200 will last alot longer,and be more reliable, and they arnt slow either Ive had a 125 4 stroke skipper which is basiclly like piaggios version of a runner, that did 70mph clock speed after I had a garage service it, and fit a new exhaust. At first it didnt pass 60 lol because it had not been serviced for 2 years.. So the 200 would be alot faster and yea will be a good buy in my opinion! If you can find a good con 180 go for it while you got the chance
For my job I usually get picked up (railway) but if I travel to the site, I will get more work. One of the main places is 10 junctions down the M6. Which one do you think would be best for this? I know the FXR would be quicker but if its gonna keep breaking down or needing a new plug its no good. My DNA 50 has been fine apart from a rusty exhaust blowing and a wire shorting out causing it to cut out.
I would say the vxr 200 for petrol But I would say the 180sp is best as they both have around the same top speed but it has the grunt and quick bursts of power ideal for filtering Keep either bike maintained and they won't got wrong
I think I need to get one of the 180 2T's. Went to bassets pole last night and there was one (with an L plate but a 180 kit fitted) which would lift the front wheel at 50-60 and keep it up all the way down the road doing at least 70. Looks like great fun.
