Couple of things to mention, that 7.12 hp its alleged to have will be more like 5hp, mine was allegedly a 150 cc but still slow, could get 55mph at a push.

The 186cc kits are meant to get around 11.5hp which would be pretty good, when I get another one that's what I will do.

I got the 'stickys' manual which was pretty good, you could have had mine except my cat threw up on it .

I personally like the old English White with pale blue horn casing etc.

Finally, they are not gay !!!

i know your pain, took the GS500 i had down there once, had to wait for 10 minutes on the ferry for all the scoots to get started before i could get off and go in the opposite direction to them whilst heading to my grand parents in rookley.

This year I left the Island and went down to Minehead for the weekend

The roads ALL the way there were littered with broken down scoots in varying states of undress with people standing around looking confused

I swear, no word of a lie, I must have seen thirty or so in the space of a few hours
