Cupid Stunt Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Had to go out and get some more meds for my back so took the long way round to test the scoot is all working as it should Parked up next to some locals but they wandered off as even they didn't want to be seen next to it Continued on via the tight single track roads that weave through the woods, you know the sort where it's so little used that a grass verge has grown down the middle, scoot handled it well On past Pontardawe to Brynamman and up the Blacks where I saw this lot obviously on their way to the supermarket with their shopping boxes Here's the obligatory top of the mountain shots Just getting used to it really, I haven't ridden a twist and go since 1980 and that was inside the indoor shopping centre in Romford, up and down the stairs, pissed as a fart with a girl on the back, I'll try to avoid such shenanigans on this one Back down via Ystradgynlais, visited a friend then off to get the meds Very comfy ride, in fact my back is far better when on the scoot riding than when off it, she hits the speed limits very quickly, plenty for overtakes, very sure footed and natural in the bends, very pleased so far 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobiker Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Excellent. I have to admit, when I was at the dealership last week having my bike serviced ready for Ireland, I was quite taken by this 750cc scooter.. well, I say scooter. It's actually a standard motorcycle wearing different clothes. DCT obviously. It won the 2019 Gibralter rally!! Beating KTM, BMW, Huskie and the rest... https://tinyurl.com/ty6d9djp 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobiker Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Its the same engine as is in the NC750. But retuned to be rather more 'exuberant' - the standard engine is very good, but a little dull. it is after all a commuter/easy going tourer or a step-up from a learner for the easily intimidated. They changed it quite a bit for this bike and have further enhanced it for this year. chain drive, standard gear box. huge cavern under the seat. Its totally unique, no other maker produces anything like it aside from Chinese small capacity copies. The dealer has a tester but I thought it safer not to ask for a go. Im rather afraid I might like it, but its far too soon to be changing bikes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
