Hi i need a but help in chooseing a new scooter I'm torn between a piaggio nrg, gilera runner sp50 and a yamaha aerox 50 which one of these would be the best to buy please.

nrg or runner, steer clear of the rox please :D

To be honest I`d rather a rox in good condition (if there is such a thing!) simply because of the water pump.
Runner/NRG/SP liquid cooled if they have pump issues can lead to a world of pain, rox take the pump cover off and it`s a peice of piss.

BUT any second hand scoot is a gamble, been through a number of retarded sixteen year old wannabe racers who listen to their mates about "tuning" (there goes my customer base :thumbsup: )and fit and fuck with all things.....then it gets sold to another along the line of evolutional rejects that escaped the Darwinian code of natural selection and another part of the set-up gets bolluxed.. and so on and so on until...It`s three years old and needs an MOT. By this time it`s had any number of kits/pipes/bar conversions and "lexus" lights and no longer resembles a scooter but a piece of "street art" designed by a crack-head monkey with an imaginery Mak 10! BOOOM init!.

Second thoughts..wait till your 17 and buy a nice car :yahoo:

I thought so...not very helpfull but very poetic :amen:

jeez! its only it`s/hers/his first post asking for a simple bit of advice and gets my ramblings!

Hey! Welcome to the forum Leeh.

What are you doing with a Kundo exhaust on your scoot Dave?
PrettyDodgyDave#6
lol welcome from me too well help ya no matter what you get tbh lol :)

and oh blue dont ill cry needed a pipe and it was cheap lol ill get a decent one of you soon enough though seeing as ive finally got a job hah :D

That was`nt a punt for custom Dave... just thought you had a lil tuning secret and it actually worked! Save me an inordinate amount of time designing exhausts if Kundo had got there first and it was a well kept secret :whistle:

Just think a certain manufacturer could buy them up cheap... run them on a dodgey Dyno, stick a sticker on it and make enough to buy a super-car ;)

Sorry Leeh,
Thread jacking again...back to you.
