125Cc Scooters/moped....

[GODZ1LLA]

Thinking about getting myself a scooter for work (will take the 125 test).

But has anyone had any recent experience with one ie are there any out there that can do 110kph or 120kph?

I have to go up a single lane highway @ 110 ish so dont want to be holding everybody up (thats if its even legal to go a highway on a scooter) as i am new to them, just thought i would throw the idea out there and see other peoples views...

if so what brands/makes are good??

I want somthing sporty looking

Most scooters should comfortably get along at 100-110.

The Yamaha Aerox 100 is a good one. I like 2 strokes. Although they tend to top out at about 100. That said, there are tons of aftermarket bit available to get them cranking harder like pipes, clutches, carbies, barrels and the like.

If you don't have your bike licence already you're only going to be able to do 80 anyway?

I've got a postie, that'll do 80

If you've already got a licence then why the fudge are you getting a scooter so small?!

edit: I'd look at a Sachs Madass. They're awesome They'll do 110 easy assuming you're not too heavy

Im not sure what the rules are in WA but here in QLD you cant ride anything over 50cc without a Bike licence. I would suggest a cheap 250cc bike.I have a ninja 250r.

I would suggest a bike with a bit more capacity if you are going to be wanting to hold 100 to 110km esspecilly on hills. My 50cc jiajue scooter was not to slow for a 50 but up hills it suffered big time. (got it to 80km down a big hill once)

[GODZ1LLA]

Yeah sporty looking as in not like a vespa or big wheeled postie bike!

Yeah looking around i will have to go 50cc unless i do a test...

At this stage its just an idea, but it means i have more to sepdn on the gtr

[Cowboy1600]

Just go and get your license proper. Then get a scooter.

Then, once you're on you full license get anything the heck you want.

[mad082]

get your bike licence then get a 400cc registerable dirt bike. will easily do the speed limit without having to scream its tits off.

No LAMS in WA till next year, so that means 260cc max.

Cheers for the input guys

I used to race them in qld

Go the aerox and make it a 50cc one

The 50 is water cooled and also has the rear disc brake.

There is so much after market stuff for these its insane. You can get them up to 30 plus hp from 4hp

The aerox 100 is is only 8hp and will get kicked by a 70cc aerox.

I have built a few of these engines for race bikes now

[Cowboy1600]

30hp out of 50cc? That's a big call.

A 125 GP bike makes 50hp. The 250s used to make just over 100hp.

[waxracing]

They bore and stroke them up to 94cc

thats the 30 hp ones

put a turbo on it and do some skidz...

[waxracing]

Two stroke and turbo dont really go that well together

[GODZ1LLA]

Yeah went there Trev, its moved!! (guessing you mean further up than autogroup).

Will have to have a nosy at yours when i come round

[waxracing]

You cant buy aerox,s anymore they stopped importing them in 2008 for some reason.

I do all my own porting and engine building , price depends on how fast you want to go . You can spend up to 10k on an engine if you want .

But if you put 1500 into an engine you will get a real tough street setup that will pop stands easily
