Essentially what you get for your dough is a long-wheelbase scoot with 12-inch wheels, a fully automatic transmission (Upgraded to Melossi Sports Variator 12 month ago), and a simple, liquid-cooled, 250 power plant. As for the engine, it's a single-overhead cam four-stroke running two valves, and putting out a claimed 20ps. A conventional fork is matched to a single hydraulic disc brake up front, while the rear makes do with twin shocks and a 2nd Disk brake The initial take-off is very gentle yet powerful -- many scooters tend to 'jump' a little when the clutch first bites -- making this unit particularly user-friendly. Easily drags away from the lights, as the initial stomp is enough to lose city traffic. Mid-range performance, say from 30km/h to around 90, is exceptionally strong, making it surprisingly easy to find yourself doing way over the 60 speed limit on suburban roads. Top speed of this bike is 137 in a headwind, with a consistent cruising speed of 90 to 110, nothing to whinge about. Fuel economy, 30km/lt with mixed suburban, freeway, solo and two-up use. With an 11-litre fuel tank, you end up with a very respectable range of 330km.
