That's the problem with un educated people, any bike which is an auto they think it is a moped, it does me every time i hear that.

Ahh! One of my favourite subjects! In my experience there are two types of people who call scooters, even large engined ones, mopeds. Firstly ones who simply don't know what a moped is and assume that if it has an open step-through frame it is a moped. And secondly people who have been watching too much WSB on the telly and call them mopeds because they are not 150 mph plus race-reps. Usually either kids or people with the mental age of one.

The first group don't bother me because they are simply unaware, but the second group really p... me off. Especially the adults.

LED daytime running lights .. come in various fittings for bikes, they have a very high lumen (brightness) like the daylight running led`s you see on cars, yet take minimum power to run them
take a look here (click the link)

There are some smaller bikes that attract less road respect rrom other users and the smaller bikes like the pcx fall into this category. If I have a loan scooter / moped I find a noticeable difference in terms of "road respect" from other road users. Not for one moment saying this is right!!!

you have a smaller footprint on a smaller scoot and the cagers think your a yobbo :D 116 year old :lol: the 110cc and 125 class should not get themselves into difficulty as they have enough power ... so its no trundling from 0 to 30 and you will be away from them :kiss:
