Excellent Nick, you’ll have to post up some pics when you get a chance. ---

Wow… that is pretty expensive… I would have bought a used R6 or something. My friends dad bought a china scooter for his wife for $600 bran new… for $600 id rock it. ---

> [@SP71Supra"](#): > > Wow… that is pretty expensive… I would have bought a used R6 or something. My friends dad bought a china scooter for his wife for $600 bran new… for $600 id rock it. Yeah, I contemplated a lot of other options, but the SR50R came out on top. I figure the SR50R is a step up from my SR20’s… As far the the sport bike option, my driving record made insurance extremely expensive. Also, I don’t think I could control myself on a sport bike [speed wise]. I also don’t care too much for Asian crap… 😉 The Aprilia also will depreciate less than all the other scooters. Spec wise the thing is pretty cool. Ive been getting crap about this from everyone except a lot of sport bike riders. The Aprilia name is worth something, but even without the name it pretty cool [imo]. Its on 49cc, but its water-cooled, computer-controlled direct fuel-injected, front and rear disc brakes with dual piston calipers, and some other stuff. For what I wanted/needed, I think its perfect. ---

I was just checking your scooter out. Pretty nice setup. I have had SO much more fun on mine than both rockets that I have owned. I too have a problem with controlling myself on a sport bike. What area are you from? Could you drive it in to Pittsburgh? Checkout [scootdawg.com](http://scootdawg.com) Scooter inventory’s (chinese atleast) are being purchased faster than they can make them; its just a matter of time until the price starts rising on them. ---

Up big hills it goes about 25, flat I can do about 45-50, down hills 50-55. Its still ECU restricted, and it may have a restrictor ring on the variator [some of the 09’s do some dont]. People Ive talked to see relatively large gains from just a pipe and some CVT tuning. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/scooter-questions-flame-suited/198690.md?page=1)
