MBK ovetto 50cc 2008

Advantages: long gas mileages, easy control and nice looking
Disadvantages: risk of slipping and sliding on wet, icy and snowy roads

...my opinion i like this MBK ovetto 50cc 2008 scooter is great, because i have been driving it for about three months and it is great! It has a five liter gas tank that runs about 150 km from full till empty and it uses a 2 time motor coolant every three gas refills. The MBK ovetto 50cc 2008 also has a good and reliable engine start button that all ways turns on even from a cold start. But it has also a kick start in the back side if needed. It has ...
...lasting. I think this MBK ovetto 50cc 2008 is a great scooter because when i got it for my birthday, i was so happy from seeing the quality of it performance and i drove it all day! I think any one that is interested in buying a scooter should definitely get the MBK ovetto 50cc 2008! ...

Review of MBK Ovetto

Sing something SYMple!

Advantages: Price, well-equipped, mostly well made, some original design features, linked brakes
Disadvantages: Awkward separate lock for seat, suspension, over-light steering, view in mirrors, turbulence

...cut of 600 Euros by SYM (down to 2,999 Euros) drew my attention to its GTS 250 model, which on close inspection seemed to be a well made all-rounder at a price less than some mainstream models with only half the engine capacity. If I didn't like it I could always sell it again without losing serious amounts of cash. So I forgot my age and feeling rather like an excited teenager again I ordered myself a new SYM GTS 250 in bright silver. Not the nicest ...
...common sense after all. SYM or Sanyang Motorcycle claim to be the largest manufacture of scooters in Taiwan and Taipei, Taiwan's capital, is said to be the scooter capital of the world. So they should know how to build a decent scooter. Originally they assembled for Honda, like their main rival Kymco, but subsequently decided to go it alone launching the SYM brand on an unsuspecting world. According to my local dealer, SYM make every piece on the ...

Review of SYM GTS 250

Sym City Hopper 49cc Moped/Scooter

Advantages: Looks, Handling, Efficiency, Price and Storage.
Disadvantages: Very minor but the Indicators. [A little tricky to get used to]

...and finally came across a Sym city hopper, Its blue and when i had it the black plastics had become gray and had not been treated greatly by the previous owner.. So, with a weeks-holiday off school i spent all my time restoring it to perfect condition and i don't think i could have spent £127 in a better way! The bikes great! Its large, comfortable and being a student, it doesnt cost alot to maintain [just £4 petrol and top up of 2-sttroke oil every ...
...had 35 out of it, so it was very nippy for a restricted bike. But naturally, [as a typical male] as time went i on i have now fully de-restricted it and now cruise 10-15 miles daily at 40-50 mph and never had any problems what so-ever. Its a solid bike and with lots of storage i can store my college books, helmet, spare tools [nver been neeeded] and other bits and bobs without a problem. If youre young and on a budget, or just want a reliable stylish ...

Review of Sym - City Hopper

Mini moto not just for mini people!

Advantages: easy to tune, excellent build quality from trusted brand
Disadvantages:

I first saw the blata mini moto back at a race meet in Snetterton years ago. At this time the mini motos were not readily available to the general public, unlike now.................... My first mini moto was a cheap chinese imitation bought from a small shop in Stalham, which has subsequently closed down. It was an impulse buy - the shop had just opened and I only went in for a browse........then I was walking out with a mini moto costing £200 ...
...and saw it - the Blata mini moto. Kicking out a massive 3 hp it was on offer for £500 and you could get credit for it. I was sold,. Which design to choose from? The Lucky Strike suzuki, the Corona Suzuki, a 1970 (Sheen Suzuki), Camel Honda, Kawasaki ZX7, Ducati - the list was endless. Of course there was one only choice - the baby version of my beloved ZX7 Ninja. The Blata was delivered the following week............ The build quality of the blata ...

Review of Blata Minimoto

Gilera Runner VXR180

Advantages: Fast, economical, reliable
Disadvantages: bit unstable

Had my Runner for a few months now, and am VERY impressed. Use it as a winter hack/rainy day bike instead of my R1. It returns about 75mpg, the speedo reads between 85-92mph flat out, depending on conditions. Mine is used mainly on fast A roads, so spends most of the time 75mph+, so no doubt with town use it would be better. Acceleration is brisk, leaves most cars, and small capacity bikes from standstill, so very good for what it is. Mine seems ...
...both feet flat on the floor at standstill. Has got heater vents in, lokk good but dont do anything. Mine never gets hot, the temp gauge always reads low, and the air coming the vents is best described as tepid. The handling feels a bit unstable, probably to do with the smaller wheels, BUT, i am used to sportsbikes, so most riders probably wont notice it. I did change the standard exhaust for a ThunderRoad race can, which was ridiciously loud, ...
