Welcome .

Right Ferret all these reviews say the SRV doesnt handle and is spongy and you cant feel the front end, so c'mon watsit like ?? and how quick is it

Yes the other FerrIT .

R1ksu firstly I do have to disagree with the reviews and recently the mcn one to which I sent a letter and as usual got no reply lol. II have lived with srv for over a year and have been impressed and it still puts a smile on my face . I have just done a 600 mile round trip to Yorkshire and enjoyed some very nice twisty bits ,with persons on sports bikes and neither I or the srv were last or disgraced lol . Mine has been clocked at 129.9 mph GPS . It's squirts up to 120 easily and smoothly and will cruise at 100 2 up no problem . The braking I improved by fitting ebc HH pads and I recommend these to everyone the stopping distances are improved ,but there is a little loss in feel . The handling IMHO is very good and reacts to counter steering very well indeed ,but the suspension could be a lot better for our Pot holed roads . Ride smooth works best but you can launch it about better than a lot of bikes I have owned . I think the front end is budget and I have had a few issues with it ,which appear,s to be easily improved upon ,he'll they race these things in Europe and makes 1000cc versions with 90 rwhp and very fast .if you use combined braking the scoot reacts better as you are not overloading the front as much . Acceleration on mine is 0-60 in 5 seconds which can easily be improved by either different sprockets and or variator weights .The kits in Europe if you have the cash have got down to close to 3 seconds 0-60 times . This machine does lack the storage space and connivence of some of the other brands ,but its meant to be different . I do plan to adjust the front end to suit me and will also fit another more adjustable rear shock at some point as this is a keeper for me .the real thing is its so much fun . I fitted the Michelin pure 2ct tire to the rear and have to say what a big step forward this is for a scooter tire certainly improves the overall ride IMHO .

Hiya, welcome to the forum.....

Cool, thanks for that, we went to look at one wife was oooohh thats nice, then she sat on it, the body work was in the way of the pegs, she got off and said she didnt like it, but I want one !!! I took the Mana out for a test ride and loved it.

R1k su with regards to the rear peg in relation to the body work was an issue for my good lady as it put pressure on the inner calf muscle .I have designed some new plates to replace and reposition the pegs to suit her lady ship and will be fitting them once the guys put them through the cnc for me when time is spare .I did look at re shaping the panels to suit but there is no room to do so as the fuel tanks are directly behind them .
