tell me about them there is one for sale locally and i know a few have had them

looks good quality

how are they to ride parts avaliblity ect ect

top speed and storage would be useful

Great bike. Big wheels that also wide, meant great handling. Parts, they are based on the leader 125. Top speed real is a tadge over 70. Big bike feel as they were built to cope with a 500.

I loved mine and would of been tempted by a B500.

Heavy though. It is the smallest engine size of a range up to (as Mottza says) a 500cc. You might therefore find it a bit sluggish compared to most full-fat (15hp) 125cc scooters but otherwise, I'm with Mottza. After all, millions of Italians can't be wrong. Well, except when it comes to invading Egypt during WW2, obviously.

Never found mine sluggish.

Just followed a you tube tour guy did new york to key west on 200 version another guy on vespa gt 200 and guy on et 150 which packed up enroute so he traded it in and brought a gts 300

Well it's all relative and the gearing would help. But the simple fact is that it weighs over 150kg and has 15hp. That's the same weight - thereabouts - as my 250cc with 22hp. The Piaggio Liberty, similar idea but smaller frame, is only just over 100kg. Even Richy's Honda Sh125i is 130kg.

In other words, if it matters to you, you might find those pesky Runner 125s leave you a bit behind off the line.

Is It Stephen C. Must be with my fat lump on it.

Well its looking good I am just waiting for a price off the dealer for the zip and should be ready to go

the dealer is selling this scoot for someone else so cant offer me a px

they may be able to sell my scooter the same way but it would mean me leaving it there and buying the b125 that way

cant do it this way as needed the zip money for the other scoot

decided to buy it aouright

got to dealer and he had sold it at lunchtime

ebay says there is 2 scoots within a 50 mile radius and bike trader has abot 40 but 30 of them are chinese 5 are out of my price range and the rest are wrecks
