    At the end of the day the bike was a fresh good solid runner and anything after its left zest hands is another matter.
    The new owner can only realy speak for it from now on realy as its in his hands and as for both sides i dont realy think there are any sides at all the scooter is what it is until its left the last owners hands which was solid...nothing else realy to say well not from anyone who has seen or known anything about the bike/engine while me zest or my cousin has owned it!!

    If people are dead set in thinking other things about a scooter they no nothing about thats up to them but everyone who has owned the bike/engine has been happy and as long as the new owner is happy everything should be all good but people need to stop bitching or making stupid comments/remarks about some thing they no nothing about...proper kids stuff...

    Yean not to bad mate as it goes everything seems to be going well with it he aint used it that much over the winter months (dont blame him) took it isle of wight last year it got loads of looks but engine wise yeah mate its spot on runs very nice and goes pretty well he got it dyno'd down his way in november and it hit 22.9bhp so thats good and still runing on standard gearing so low and mid range its like a rocket but tops out at 84mph on the dyno with no weight or wind behind it so i'd say about a true 70-75max which may not sound fast but as you no minor i doubt there are any real; scooters on the road that can realy get a true 85mph+ no matter what all these kids think... ;) unless they are pushing 30hp+.

    Maybe yeah see how things go might even give the dragster a blast down the track if its ready but doubt there will be any 13sec runs this time round more like 15/16secs on this one but its all fun so who cares :D

    13's on a scooter at pod your looking 32bhp+ engines as its the slowest and up hill and bloody sticky which can slow you down a lot people have had times of upto over half second better at most other tracks as standard every time.

    A normal 172 scooter with the usual 25ml carb a pipe etc etc at pod your looking at around 16/17 secs.

    its a shame people can buy 30+bhp tuned engines/bikes, then smoke out all the people who have put alot of work and time into their bikes

    then make us look like twats....

    they should make a law on it :nerd:

    wouldnt you feel more proud if you made your bike what it is...than just buying it?

    saves money aswell :w00t:

    1. u DO NOT know me or have NEVER met me so how u can make this comment i do not know !

    2. i have had many projects Icluding a NRG 70 , 2 x Typhoon 172s and 3 x Gilera runner 172s and that is not including the 2 30bhp + bikes i bought off james , plus my new project i have now :bird:

    3 as for some of you sayin the bike was not worth 1500 pounds LOOOOOOOOOOOOL please show me a 52 reg Gilera Runner wiv a fresh newly built engine 26bhp engine (the one which terro himself wanted to buy) with less than 500 miles and the pannels MINT not one scratch on them, wiv rs24 shock electric water pump ect ect u will not find one cheaper

    just goes to show how many of you on here aint got a clue ,

    anyway i am out and back to the forums where people actually know what there talking about and dont think they are better than anyone else , even fastlane knows more than 99% of u lot on here about bikes and look at the way he acts !
