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 :)

If your still looking for scooters, I can recommend Aprilia. I had a early 2000's SR50 Ditech, fuel & oil injected, water cooled, front & rear disc brakes, fat 13" wheels and handled really good. Standard they would only do 50-60 max, but derestrict them and just by changing the rollers with a bit of playing round they would do 80km/h easy. Different roller weights would give you better top end at a price of sacrifycing bottom end. Im a big bloke and managed to ride in a 80 km/h zone easily. I did this for well over 30,000km (daily commuting to work 55km round trip) without rebuilding the motor, (I was told by many ppl that it would need a rebuild after 20k)!! yeah right!!! :laugh: .

It was cheap transport as well 50km/l of fuel, and approx 1.2l oil tank would easily last 3000km for oil that cost under $20 a bottle.

Good fun too, so much so my mate brought one as well and we used to go cruising on the weekend. You can see on the aprilia site they also do 125cc, and a bad point now is the 50cc motors are different now to what it used to be carby vs fuel injected, and I beleive they are a different motor as well.

In SA you only needed a car licence for a 50cc scooter. :thumbsup:

Aprilia are known for shitting cranks, You may have had a good run I have replaced 5 cranks for people in these bikes. There was a few engines in these scooters

The morini was crap the mineralli engine was alot better. You may have had the mineralli one as most of the morni ones are on there 3rd crank

Roller weights too light no top speed, to heavy slow speed

just right fast acceleration as well as the same top speed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
