never seen an old one, think that one could be nice with some adjustments. i hate new designs nowadays though, always has to look like its from the future
If that is the case im not suprised they went out of business lol. Literally nothing on the internet apart from those pics
its just chinese made junk now with a cpi engine i wonder if this is reflected in the price? i doubt it
whats the quality of the plastic though? i think the suzuki katana's plaistic is the worse ive come by to date not including the chinkys
imagine how heavy peds would be if all the plastics were glass and metal ect quality of plastic only matters if you constantly drop the bike ad dont take care of them tbh...
that is bullshit and you know it regarding your theory why not tell piaggio to start using cake wrappers as it dont matter of the quality as you wont ever drop your scoot and you look after it
obviously within reason.. if you drop it the panels are getting fucked either way. all panels are meant to do is keep the electrics ect from the elements,get rid of any sharp edges and make a scooter somewhat more secure. oh and look nice. doesnt matter what theyre made of for the most part! mate a ped functions just as well whether it has panels that are a inch thick or 90% of its plastics off (arguably better with the panels off tbh....added weight/drag and that stuff)... making them out of plastic is probably cheaper than cake wrappers also..
if a panel cant take any kind of abuse before cracking its shit quality and should reflect in the price like chinky bikes the fact is scooters aint cheap (talking about new prices) if you want a propa manufacturer when you compare the prices to larger capacity bikes considering scooters are basic my aprilia rally panels are pretty good quality and so was my trekker there panels were solid unlike chinky scoots and shitzuki katana although sym panels must be solid i witnesed a sym jet crash 30mph into a stationary car and the front panel mudgaurd and forks all survived unharmed apart from a scratch on the front panel and 1 broken lug
personally if a manufacturer offered a scoot with thinner plastics for a small price discount id go for that but maybe thats just me
well if you drop like one time your scoot down and all the panels crack then thats gonna suck balls! chinese quality
