good bike, I have one in the highway is no so good because the speed is about 95 km only and most of the highway are 100 km, but in town or in the city is perfect.
A 125 on the interstate is still faster than many heavy trucks like gravel trucks or even school buses that go maybe 50 and slow down on hills. In Texas we have access roads paralleling the interstates, so you can just travel at lower speeds on those. I use my 500 for interstates, my 125 for state roads, and my 50 for city streets always using the minimum horsepower to get the job done. Saves fuel that way too. Nice bike the Zuma with the 4T. I like Aprilia better though.. better price too.
Gloves do save fingers. And knuckles. And hands. And the little bones inside them. It is instinctual to try to stop yourself in a crash with your hands. Picture placing your hands on a belt sander going 70+ MPH...
@earpig if he doesn't wear gloves, I suppose a helmet is a tall order against a yummy concussion, and forget about a solid Kevlar anything for the road rash.
@homelesswithahouse Not true. All interstates are highways. In fact all public roads are highways. The proper term is interstate highway which simply means it's a hghway that connects to one or more states. This does not look like an interstate to me but even if it is. it is also a highway.
The speedo has 70mph max. It tops out at 70 indicated, probably 65-68 gps. It is rev limited @approximately 9300 rpm. I routinely get 100-110 miles per tank or 75-85 mpg, roughly.

Yea! Wear some gear! We all know how dangerious those super scooters are! My god! What are you topping out at!? 35!? How about you guys throw your leg over a CR500 and maybe grow some balls!
@SwitchRich The "save" fingers all the time? Sure they save them from the cold, the rain and superficial cuts and scraps but gloves are not going to prevent serious damage to your hands and fingers.
Nice job ive been thinking about getting a scooter but ive been wondering wether it is legal to ride on the freeway. yeah it is scary but scooters are cheap and if its legal then io want to get one and ride it on the freeway to get to work. i dont care. So is it legal in california lets say on a 150? and does it affect the motor harshly?
Ive taken my 70cc zuma on the highway before. I was a bit scared once I realized what I had done and that there was no turning back. I made it to the next exit.
it seems to me like a horror video since he was going to the highway. Scared to Death, since I made a mistake once in rome and finished in a highway with a burgman 400cc. Imagine a 125cc ?
Just a little tip, when you ride a bike on the highway or any heavily traveled road never run in the middle of the lane, that's where all the oil and grease builds up from the cars and trucks, try and stay to the left or right of the lane.
Same rule goes for when you stop at a light don't put your foot down on that greasy center of the lane, LOL it could be embarrassing!
Just normal city streets where i ride. To scared to go onto a highway. good luck.

I feel pretty stable on my stock Zuma 125. That is at 55 to 60. I'm not sure I would feel as comfortable on that one going that fast.
The wind gusts from passing trucks must be pretty intense.
Wear your protection gear. I hit the pavement going very fast years ago. Lost lots of skin. Can't describe how much it hurt.

earpig 150cc is highway legal in Cali. Some states like Michigan consider 125cc to be highway legal.

I believe it is illegal. I know in Cali there are signs posted that anything less than 250cc is not allowed.

@earpig you could argue that the scooter alone is 125cc and that you have a 155cc kit on it....125+155=280cc if the cops believe it

Too bad they don't make a 150cc if this one is too small for freeways. :(

If you're going to be going that fast wear gloves, or be prepared to kiss goodbye to your fingers if you come off the bike.
I live in Japan, scooters like this are incredibly popular. Very economical too. Great way to get around.
