Im not sure if my speedometer is just off or what, but mine gets up to 45 pretty easily. Ive had the speedometer maxed out and kept going faster, im guessing i was going about 65 (extremely steep hill and smooth road) haha

@jagmcool2 Yeah I recently took a GPS on my scooter and tested it. Basically I had to go to 30mph to be going 25mph, and where it maxes out at 50? 55? that was about 35mph haha. But I definitely was not going double that! You were probably running at 11,000+ rpm!

@swflcastaway Grow up bro, I was 13 when I made the video. If you don't like the video don't watch it, and don't give me any comments either, they just make me more popular.... duh.... And I'm not homosexual by the way.

@roxxerface I ride a CR250 bro....

@MrLocoboy30 If you really want something new, get Vento, or Fly scooter or something that has a "brand name". But really once you start riding you'll get to 2000miles and start to have real problems.

If you can (and I mean really really try) get a Honda or Yamaha. There's more after market parts, more parts available in general, shops don't refuse to work on them like they do with Chinese, you can rely on them, manuals are buyable, etc, etc, etc...

[apricotsnms516]

@MrLocoboy30 What brand? Personally, after all my experience, if I could go back in time, I would have looked on craigslist, the newspaper, thrifty nickle, etc. For a Honda, or Yamaha. I was so set on getting a "new" bike when I was young I passed up some gooood deals.

If you can, get a Yami or Honda, they will last until your have grand kids. Buy used.

@apricotsnms516 what kind would u recommend me to buy in the 50cc

[apricotsnms516]

@MrLocoboy30 You wanna start with de-restricting if it's legal at your age. (It's kind of a procedure, so if you're old enough there are websites that have step by steps with pictures if you search around). Next a good UNI filter works wonders and makes 'er purr. Then you can play with the roller weights, I never bothered because I like my stock ones, but if I had the money I would get a few sets to play with.

After that you can get a pipe, big bores, etc. But probably not worth it for now.

@apricotsnms516 and what are the modifications?

[apricotsnms516]

@MrLocoboy30 They're supposed to be limited to 31-2 miles per hour. But with a few simple modifications I usually go about 40MPH.

The thing that's interesting about 50s is that your speed and acceleration are completely determined by the road conditions, wind speed, altitude, rider weight (yes losing 5 pounds helps the acceleration), and other very small factors which are looked over when riding a larger bike.

In traffic I would be a little scared, but great on residential and country roads :)
