    In my book anything with a piaggio engine in, preferably liquid cooled ;)

    But which scooter you like/choose is a personnel thing really...

    for example i like old shape Runners, bloody love them 2 bits...but theres
    plenty of people who hate them!!

    Grab urself a mint 50cc typhoon or nrg you cant go wrong with them

    But anything piaggio/gilera and you should be sorted!

    Sukida offer cheap reliable 4stroke 50's brand new for about £500 ;)



    On a serious note Aprilia SR, Piaggio NRG or Gilera Runner and you'll be happy

    Liquid cooled of course

    A good first ped would be something small and light like a old 2 stroke zip or a typhoon, any thing with a piaggio engine. Air cooled are more simple to work with but liquid cooled bikes are faster... Why did you want a fast ped again?

    Then after a few months get yourself a runner mate. They are like the Ferrari of scooters, nippy, reliable, well designed and one of the most tuneable scoots around. Italian too :cool:

    dont get this, wc engines ARE NOT faster.. they stay cooler thats all (who the fuck sits in traffic ether way?) if anything an ac is faster stock as its not moving fuckloads of water round the engine.
