Yeah...even the MotoGP riders, who all ready have engines producing something like 280bhp, no doubt berate their crew chiefs saying that they need more power!!!!

I know exactly where you're coming from there, I love the power I have in the Mana.

I bought my 300cc scooter because I want to go easy on heavy traffic in Athens and be able to go on Sundays a good ride with friends on motorcycles I can easily follow them and burn half the fuel they burn :-P:wink:

I ride a 125cc X9 because :

I can ride it with my old pre 1980 car license

It is tax free

Good mpg

Fast enough for the city anyway and comfortable for cruising around country roads

Just the right scooter for an old fart like me
