Its like this:

Scooters are the cheapest most basic means of transportation, they get you from a to b.

Make your decision based on that, not what some yobbo f**king trucky thinks of you driving one. Who gives a shit, little does he know what you have lurking at home in the garage :D

Just buy an old 250cc 4-stroke trail bike, throw some decent road-trail rubber on them, paint it matt-black with $7 spraypaint and they go anywhere (like speedhumps, kerbs, medium strips, nature strips, footpaths... hehe!) dont cost very much and no one steals the f**king things because theyre ugly, noisy and look like theyre owned by someone who will rip your cock off and kill your pets.

It doesnt matter who's riding a scooter in Australia, you could be Clint Eastwood with a 44magnum, a keg of beer strapped to each side and a highway patrol officer being dragged by a length of chain behind it and youre still going too be a rampaging arse bandit in the eyes of pretty much everyone.

Yeah, you must mean those little silver scooters the kids ride on to skool eh ? One leg a pumpin and a look of grim death as they grip those handlebars.

But the real tough punk bad ass kids ride skate boards, spray graffiti on public buildings, vandalise bus stops (and probably key Skylines).

Rezzeh, thank god you saw this thread... well the reason I posted this thread was because so far I hadn't met ANYONE in australia who had even heard of this stuff. Like no one's even mentioned it as a passing joke. Eeeeevery monkey's heard of customised choppers, but no one's ever heard of customised japanese cruisers. And its not like guys here don't have access to the base models to start modding them either... they're in almost every motorbike dealership at the back because no one wants em.

Seriously scooter is a bad name for these bikes, they're like cruisers. Hell even BMW and Buell are starting to release copies of these japanese big scooters.

Dude I've been looking at these too, Have a look at the Honda Forza.

This shop has some way cool customs, I put a couple of pics on a ZT thread about these. :D

No the local market isn't ready, and has no idea anyway but that makes it more awesome haha

There is a big aftermarket for them. I wouldn't expect people on here to get it, but if you like them, do it. pimp it out and have fun.

yeah i posted up on ZT as well when this came up. is the forza available in oz tho? some of the more modern ones like the suzuki skywave aren't available...

You look liek a f**kign dickhead no matter what, but if your not a faggy little prissy metro gaylord, and you dont give a shit what ppl think, they are great.

thats what full face helmets are for :P

Yep you can actually buy them new from Honda. Pretty pricey though..

The first thing to go would be the windshield.

Oh god... they look hideous in factory form. I'm leaning towards a majesty because I'm used to the yamaha 250cc 4 strokers having owned an SR250 a few years ago.

thats what full face helmets are for :P

lol hide your shame with a shoei.

although been lookin at the Reevu helmets... how cool are these things... with inbuilt rear view mirrors.

thats pretty crazy, but itd probs cost u ur left nut.

well apparently if I own a scooter I won't have any of those to spare :P

I was looking at a scooter at one stage, mainly due to the petrol prices.....and once I learnt that hte oil reserves were dropping at a quick rate - i decided to f**k it and get the skyline :O

I think if its what u want then go for it!

Eventually a lot of people will start buying these once petrol prices go up to $2 a litre - i see a few people in the city riding them now

Im half tempted to get my bike licence and get a bike myself

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
