Hello i am new here, i am a fairly new scooterist, i have been driving for x ammount of years and suddenly for work and getting around town a scooter seemed like the best thing! although i managed to scrape through and pass my test i am not a very confident rider and would welcome a chat with someone similar who could give me advice etc, at the moment i have a skipper 125, which is a bit tired now, i would like to get a 150 just for a bit of extra poke, but i fear theres not a lot of choice, i am unclear as to what cc i am able to ride, i think i am restricted to a 250cc for 2 years and then i can ride a 500cc so can anyone confirm this thanks jenny
let me be the first to say welcome so you've passed your full test? if so you can ride any cc but not exceeding a output of 33 hp why not make a post asking the questions you need to know
yep and welcome!! by the name im guessing your a girl need sum more girl riders!!! were losing them 1 by 1 since gazell has sold his ped lol :welcome:
We thought we were good getting our bikes to 90 degree's, well gaz could get his to 180 degree's all the time. skill.
hello an welcome your skipper has the same engine as a typhoon (if its 2 stroke of course) so you can fit a 172 kit to it. probably your best option for now
hey if u have passed you A licence u can ride a 33bhp bike for 2 years then ride anything.. piaggio x9 500cc is 39bhp gilera nexus 500cc is just over 40bhp piaggio x9 200cc is 21bhp gilera runner 200cc 19bhp is the skipper 2 stroke or 4 stroke? you can turn it into a over 20bhp 4 stroke monster with 210cc and bolts ons.. or turn it into a over 20bhp 2 stroke monster with a 172 kit and bolt ons..
Well thanks for the welcome, and yes i am an old girl, going through a midlife crisis i am told, but love the scooter and wish i had taken it up when i was a teen, and then maybe i would be more confident now!
