    Ive owned 3 SR's. 125s and a 180 and Now I have my Concept SR.
    Ive owned about 12 Runners, all types of engines.
    I think I can safely say that the Runner handles better and is a much smoother, solid ride..

    Im not saying SR's are no good, I ride one :drool: Runner powered ofcourse :pimp:

    if everyone thought certian aspects of handeling were better there would be one bike avalable.

    i prefer the runner of the 2 yet think both handle like a pram (both too high for the wheel size) but ye. you like what you like for diff reasons. same as tyre pressure afterall.. some like it hard some like it soft (no penis puns thanks)

    I've got an SR home from work to 'run-in' and already i prefer the handling to the typhoon :msn1: Feels right stable when getting low on corners and it feels quicker off the mark than the typhoon :wtf:

    Same engine, both with the normal rollers and belts in :nerd:

    Anyway i'm off out to scrub these tyres in properly :pimp:

    Dont forget the fact that most typhoon forks are usually seized or on their way out.

    if u mean 50cc scoots then i say a rs50 :D
    there fast, reliable(even though everyone says there not) look good, get u used to gears and clutch, handle well and if u tune them they fly
    just my opinion anyway but im sure sum of u will disagree :bird:

    not quite... cvt means constant power. id love to see a tzr 50 beat a new piaggio... aint happening with double the weight and the same power.

    only people who own them will defend them (yes i had a couple geard 50's and there shit) lemmi give you an example of a geard 50

    weeeeeeee, clock, weeeeee, click, weeeeeeee click, weeeeee (thas 30mph) click weeeeee (35) click need i continue?

    it might be (if i was legal)

    and minor, wat geared 50's have u owned, a rs??
    and maybe not a tzr as they r restricted in the exhaust port and they r heavy for a 50cc but im sure the rs would beat a new piaggio, but i might be wrong...

    your argument by definision is wrong.. a derestricted bike against a restricted scoot.. you got half a chance. remove the powervalve (if its there) and race stock vs stock and the rs will get pissed on... and ive owned an ar50/ts50 and ridden prittymuch everything you can on an l plate.. rs's suck balls especially in 50 form. as i said.. feels like a wet sponge

    im on about if both the rs and moped was derestricted, then the rs would piss on the ped, and theres no powervalve on a rs50.
