I've been shopping around for a new scooter. And Wow. I just test rode the Peugeot Jetforce 125.
It's not like riding a scooter. The fuel tank is between your legs and the centre of gravity is much lower. You are also sitting higher than a scooter and get a great view of the traffic (I am comparing to the PGO T-Rex 150 and the Vespa ET4 150). The brakes are awesome (disks front and back plus ABS on front).
It feels fantastic to ride.
But I've seen some really bad reviews here:
http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews9808.html
they mostly say that when it's running, it's remarkably fuel efficient and lovely to ride. But that there have been heaps of problems with the fuel injection, ignition, etc. and it sounds like very poor service from Peugeot.
All the reviews are from 2003-2005; maybe Peugeot have got their act together since then. Or maybe not?
Does anyone know anything about these? Does anyone own one?
