I thought my local runabout (Zontes Tiger 125cc) was small, being about 3/4 size - but yours is ridiculous

I'd be too embarrassed to ride that thing - couldn't stand people laughing at me

Looks a fun bike. There's something about riding small bikes that makes every ride an adventure and fun. icon_wink-.gif Wales.gif

Thats what there all about, folk get laughed at riding scootz, you just have to be thick skinned and smile knowing the fact your having fun in a different way and your not a sheep like the rest of them, secretly i bet quite a few blokes would have one or a monkey bike but have not got the balls to not give a shite what their mates think, some of the best laughs i have had is on little bikes with like minded people, you get loads of attention and questions and i am an attention whore.

I get a lot more respect when on my maxi scooter than when on my 125cc motorcycle

Guess people assume I'm a young yobbo on a motorcycle, and a respectable person when on a maxi scooter

All the negative stuff has occurred whilst on the motorcycle - cars pulling out in front of me, tailgated by a truck blasting his air horn because I was not going round blind bends at 50 mph on a narrow twisty road, somebody hanging out of a 4x4 passenger window shouting at me to buy a car

Not respect from cars that will never happen on a small bike i meant from other motorcyclist ..although van drivers seem to like it
