    damn good reliable scooter, had one for a while, will do stupid milage with no problems, bloody slow though.

    i'll ask around for a back wheel but i doubt it, any other parts you need?

    As Aaron says, i got a Sym Jet..... im pretty impressed with them really, had a few problems with it to begin with

    Its had, New Rollers, New Coil, New Throttle Cable, New Kick Start Mech, New Started Motor, New Belt..... Runs sweet as a nut now.... 100mile+ a tank, 45MPH, 50 Down Hill. Reliable. They are Honda Engined by the way (Y)

    I will be selling it, in a month or so, when i got the Speedfight OTR. So, if anyone needs parts, i ll strip it down for you :)

    no its a honda based engine.

    why are you chopping a jet in for a speedshite, like swapping your shiny charzard for a piccachu, or your saxo VTR for a ciquechento. well you get the drift.

    There pretty sound Scoots, if you just want it as a commuter round town. But for anything else, tuning etc. No go! I have done 55 Mile round trips on it though, with no problems, just enoying at 45MPH!

    The kid who had it before me, basicly thrashed the hell out of it. As im sure Aaron will confirm :p

    what you need is a speedfight...a stage 6 engine mount kit...a piaggio engine...polini evo 2 kit...a yasuni c21...

    and a sticker on the back that says.."TALK IS CHEAP LETS RACE" ;)
