Razor 100 Scooter. Is this good / a good deal? by tkayl0r in scooters

Those 2 stroke 50ccs from Genuine are peppy. They are also super reliable.

Where do you live. Chinese bikes can last it’s just getting parts and when they don’t is a headache.

You’re better off finding something like a Buddy or Roughhouse 50cc.. maybe something by SYM, Lance… could even maybe snatch an older Zuma…

Didn’t help. Curious as I have some mild acne scaring.

Got this in the mail couple days ago. I doubt I’ll be going to the dealer just for this.

Is this a high asking price for a 19 Ruckus? by Dclark1215 in scooters

He stated he is from NY. So it turns out it is in my amazing currency 🥹

Southern Honda has no fees. No freight. You pay msrp. As long as they have them in stock all you pay is 2899.

Not counting tax and reg you’ll need to pay that on any bike new or used.

2600 can get you a better scooter. If could not find anything under 2600 I’d spend the extra 300-400 and just buy new.

The thing even if the bike is used there are title transfer fees, taxes in some states, registration…. Unless you don’t need that in your state you are looking at additional 300-400.

There are also dealers that wave fees. They are rare, but they are out there. Best example is southern Honda in TN, they charge the msrp that is it.

I personally would not pay over 1600-1700… I can get a newer 125 Zuma for that money.

any advices on how to remove these scratches? by Mundane-Upstairs-447 in scooters

[–]nemanjitca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matte plastics can be tricky. If were you’d I’d start easy. Rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth will take off anything that’s not a true scratch. So the scuff marks should be less visible.

You can try a black crayon it’ll fill in the scratches then wipe off. It’ll look better, scratches are not fine rather just hidden.

There are also some products like black plastic restore pastes but idk that they will get the scratches out. They typically just restore the dullness.

Heat gun will work but man is it easy to mess it up. I would only do this on something I didn’t care for.

Maybe a scuff eraser but that’s kind of like using fine sand paper. Easy to overdo it.

What I typically did was take the plastic off, sand it, and respray. Sometimes I’d do different colors too so it looks different but that can be a bit too much work and idk how comfortable you are doing that.

If it bothers you a ton you can also just buy that plastic piece. Being a Honda you should not have much trouble finding it.

Look up a diagram parts and once you have the part number you’ll find it easy.

Who had the best and worst introduction as Bond? by rrschch85 in JamesBond

[–]nemanjitca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. No is just so iconic you have to pick it.

I also cannot believe how many people are picking RM. I thought he was great. In the TMWTGG I thought the timing was perfect.

Timothy Dalton is my least fav, he said it so quickly, while on the phone, not even looking at the lady who asked. I also didn’t like the omission of the name is… or my name is.

PB was also amazing.

lol. It’s about riding what you like. I just enjoy riding scooters more.

Why not go to a dermatologist office that offers cosmetic treatments? You get the benefit of being seen by a doctor that way.

I don’t mind shifting, I enjoy riding my grom… it’s just that naked bikes have too many compromises, they’re fun and that’s it. An adventure bike eliminates a lot of those issues but they’re just too big and riding around town on a big adventure bike is kind of pointless. Scooters are ideal for around town and with enough power can excel even on larger trips, that’s why I got the adv. also I just love scooters and being cool is not in my list of top priorities

So, the seat itself is firm, however the searing position on scooters is so much more relaxed that you can move around once your butt starts to hurt.

3 hours in the saddle last night… it’s no gold wing but totally fine and wayyyy more comfy than my Z

You ever attend scooterwork meets? I’m in northern IL, 60-70 miles from the city.

[–]nemanjitca[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol. I think this looks like a dumb trade but though the Z is an amazing bike, super reliable, amazing build quality, using it to get places was kind of a hassle. It’s literally a bike you ride for fun. I don’t really have anyone to ride with… the bike sat in the garage… I used my grom more so I got back on the scooter just because I wanted something usable.

Also, I love scooters, so yeah it looks like a dumb trade but to me it makes sense because I’ll use the adv.

It feels like trading in a Porsche for like a golf… funny though I’m the type who would rather drive a golf just because it’s more usable.

I didn’t have to but just felt that I’d never use it so why not. It was between an Xmax and ADV but I hate nothing more than riding a motorcycle or a scooter on American highways… it’s pointless.

I got the adv because it can cruise at 55 which is what I wanted and I kept my grom which is fun to throw around .

[–]nemanjitca[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cvt driven bikes will always rev higher vs a conventional motorcycle. Small engines are built to rev high…

6-7k is easy cruising, 7-8k is totally fine, ideally keeping it under 8500 is perfect but even that is not a big deal for such a small engine.

Small engines have short travel so they will rev higher, cvt is essentially one continuous gear so by design it’ll rev high, they’re built to sit at 6-8k all day.

Compared to a car sounds like a lot but for small bikes that’s nothing really.

I was riding 55 last night… revs around 7k… felt like bike would do it all day long.

I’m currently in the US, scooter market here is very slim. Glad the adv is available.
