    Hi all.
    Just wondering on what 2 stroke (scooters) are reliable enough to ride really long distances ?

    Like from portsmouth(south uk) to brighton(south uk)
    I dont know how many miles that is but theres usually a bike show thing every year so want to start going hence why i am asking.

    Most of them, run on a good 2stroke oil.

    I’ve had 3 high mile minarrelis

    And a old piaggio typhoon air cooled with 30000 miles when I sold it on. None of them were any trouble but very well maintained

    And I have mechanical sympathy lol

    Thank you for your reply sam.
    Id always use good 2 stroke oil anyway. I only asked because 2 stroke are easier to fix and im fed up with timing and valves ect on 4 strokes. Im trying to get another yamaha aerox 100 but cant find them anywhere, only 50's.

    Yeah they are rare! There’s a phantom 100cc that needs a bit of attention on gumtree I think it’s only £250 looks really clean... same engine as the Aerox

    I saw that gumtree post. Its so nice but way too far away from me. I will be looking for bikes around £250. (Not yet tho) Any condition really as long as its not completly battered as ill be doing it up gradually.

    Thats great thank you. I would love a malaguti phantom f12 but yamahas are more available to get so looks like ill be getting another aerox. Just not a LC version.

    Aerox great bikes plenty about too but I think they only did a/c in the 100cc and they are rare as hens teeth
