    I got an APRILIA!!!

    hehehehehe 125CC scooter.
    2009 with a whopping 180 miles on it.!!!!
    The man's wife decided it was too much after dropping it in the yard and refusing to ride it.
    We traded cash and a nice old Troy/Bolens Garden tractor for it.
    Darn thing takes 95 octane, ( high performance yes) and goes good downhill lol. It has a huge under seat storage space and a glove box to boot!!!
    I had it 55 on the level and almost 70 on a downhill.. after break-in this baby will really FLY.
    at 100 MPG I don't know where I'll spend my savings.. maybe an aftermarket muffler..the stock one weighs 30 pounds and is a catalytic converter..

    A friend has one that he claims goes 80 mph after some light modding. Great fun.

        Hmmm...I was kind of expecting 1000 cc's, V4 and world-class handling.

        Still very nice. What kind/size engine? Tranny?

          125 cc single..carb.. and cvt.
          My biggest problem is that for break in..you are supposed to limit it to 50% throttle for 1000 Miles.
          How will i do that..it would only go 30 heeeeee

              Cool! A tad bit more modern and faster (ok, a whole lot) then my Italian scooter job. Enjoy it.

                  I have worked on scooters with the single cylinder engine and CVT a long time. First it is a very bad idea to rev out going downhill on them. They overheat and seize rings. I saw this in my rental fleet in Vegas many times as well as my customers bikes. That bike appears to have 13" wheels so if I had to guess it has a 152QMI motor in it. Should have it stamped near the center stand mounts. Best bang for the buck upgrade will be going with 10 gram slider weights in the variator (front CVT pulley). Check this site out as he has several performance upgrades and is a good friend of mine (he is based in Vegas as well). http://www.scrappydogscooters.com/12...rformance.html Take all this with a grain of salt until you positively ID the engine lol. Have fun and great looking bike.

                    It is a amazing how cheap the parts are. The only thing close to expensive is the exhaust upgrades. I had a Kymco 150 for a while.
