You gotta love the 50cc GY6 scooters. I keep hearing and seeing evidence that those scooters are doing solid work. I expect to hear a 50,000 mile story on one some day in the future.

A bunch of the china scooter sellers should form or start a Cannonball like endurance ride to show that these scooters are now ready to roll a couple of thousand miles in a hard assed run. Anyone get an IronButt award on a chinese scooter yet? I honestly dont know myself, but untill the china scoots show the world they are NOT 1999-2008 crappy crates, and are made so much better now. I thought the MV folks were very open and giving good advice, for the most part. Heck the the winner of this years SCB2014 (dabinche) even chimed in on the topic. |
Doing the Scooter Cannonball is an exercise in futility as far as I'm concerned. No scooter from what I read has a trouble free run. Broken belts abound and other maladies occur. Ask yourself what would happen if one person competed in the Cannonball on a 250 Ninja or Honda Rebel?
As I said in that thread on MV. Quality is a nebulous term. A good rider/owner is 85% of the equation. I would take my Chinese scooters anywhere appropriate. All three have done 80+ mile trips easily, the 250 Fashion was bought/picked up and ridden home from 200 miles away. Yet no one replied to my post or asked me a question. The greatest insult is to be ignored. Arrogant slurs have no place anywhere in my world. "Chinese Sh*t"? Really?? |
I'd never let a slur ruin my day, or what I read. Slurs are everywhere.
One persons opinon on a subject is just thiers. I could not care less myself, how anyone else feels about what I do or enjoy. I learned more about Vespas then I knew, so it's a great read for me. Thanks for starting it seamus!! |

It's a different weekend now...but I took two rides today. 28 miles on 'Pokey' the scoot this AM....and 62 miles on 'Schultz' the B-mer, with wifey on the back, this PM. Absolutey beautiful weather for the two wheelers....70* - 72*, sun with just the right mix of fair weather clouds, and very low humidity. Probably one of the top ten days of this year....we really enjoyed it....Bob

I took the 250cc to work twice this weekend, 35 miles each day. I also took the 150cc on a 79 mile ride the other day to get Burritos. One of the best parts of the ride was hanging with the cars in Binghamton. Out here in the sticks I get passed all the time but in the city I can run with the big dogs.

There's also something ironic about getting Mexican take-out on a Chinese scooter. I just haven't figured out what yet.
