got a new scoot yesterday

I sold my yamaha slider and got myself a new piaggio zip sp yesterday.

Its a 2005 model that has stood in a dealership for 8 years.Had to have it.Lots off hassle getting it registered though due to ago but its hopefully sorted now

 

nathaneal nice scoot wherabouts are you in the country

 

12 to 14 month timeline..........to do a scoot................you working out the country or what!!!???

 

Got a 70cc engine here for one of those. Working. Got the complete bike actually. A 51 plate. Accident damaged. Twisted front end, busted plastics, but still running. And a very decent Gianelli pipe on it too.

 

Sorry Nat,

Hi-jacked your post a little just then, nice lookin' scoot.

 

Know that train of thought. That was the partly the reason I got this zip. Hang on, we're hijacking nats' thread here.

 

lol hijack away. am in bangor northern ireland

 

Yeah the v55 registration form had been updated twice since 2005, they just looked at me in the tax office and it was a case of "computer says no." Asked to speak to a supervisor and I had to attend a vehicle inspection for them to verify that it was nw and unused despite the age. So its a 2005 bike registered as 2013 so no MOT to worry about for 4 years. Lives in my living room to keep it away from rain etc.

Plans are for a Stage6 Sport Pro cylinder next month followed by a pro rep exhaust and mk2 racing clutch. I shall enjoy as a quick daily driver after that and slowly save up to make a big bore, long stroke monster. Will probably go for either stage6 r/t 95 or polini evo 94 setup and just use it for special occasions

There are two more zip Sp's available. one white and one black. £1100 on the road with helmet and gloves included.Also a mark 1 aircooled zip, new and covered in dust. Don't know how much it will be though. And a couple of typhoon 80's. Would love to know what the 80cc engine goes like as one of them is a bit grotty looking and probably a low price Would be a fun green lane scoot with a jackup kit

 

Hey man welcome to the forums, that's a nice ped, love the shock at the front and can t say I am at least 1 bit jealous of u right now lol, bet its nice to ride how fast does it go and is it a 50cc?

 

How far away from a ferry terminal are you?? could always nip over to belfast and pick one up if you have the cash!

 

cheers, it rides well, covered 250miles the other day on a camping trip. I have taken the variator restrictor out so it motors around at 35-40mph, bit more downhill. Keeps up fine in town but feels a little lost on open roads. I may have a go at derestricting the exhaust next week if I can find out for sure if it needs rejetted. Either way its getting a 70cc kit next month
