Hi guys,
Well me names james i am 15 years old. Soon to be 16 well soonish lol.
Now i can't afford much in a scooter and ive seen that new retro boatian.
You see only being 500 quid off the internet bike shop i thought it was a great looking cheap scooter.

Well i am going to get it soon off ebay.
One thing,
On preloved or what ever it's called on one post i t said you should run at 20 mph for the first 200 miles. That sounds like a bus going into the back of me lol #oops#
Well when i get it i am going to seee how fast i can go on it and try it up the hill on the main road. Well i only weight 10 stone so i don't think i should slow it down.
If i can get 30-35 out of it ill be happy with that. But after i have run it in and can only get 28-30 i'll derestrict it. You see i want to have ago at a trip to london, that involves going down the A12 50 mph speed limit and i want to be going 40 mph at least. Sooo will see. #emot114#
Cheers James
P.S i called me self gonejames as in zoom i am offf lol #sprint#

When you derestrict it you should be able to max out at about 43mph maybe 45mph I usually cruise every where easily at 40mph ;D. Its best if you have some mechanical experience when buying a Chinese scoot

Here's a handy hint for running your bike in quicker: When you're not using it put it on the cenre-stand and rev it gently so the back wheel spins. This way you'll be using the engine without thrashing it and having the extra weight of the rider on board.
