). Admittedly I had a backpack on but nothing much in it, so there could have been some aerodynamic effect. You'd see 140 with a slight bit of downhill or a tail wind though.

i think it depends on the engine and carburetor settings, and i agree for average top speed for new scorpios on the roads is 130ish.

this is called water and air injection (WrAin) made by sheldiez from indonesia for yamaha scorpio, and he has already sent one of this system to aussie, water that used in this system is aquadest and methanol (50-50 comparison), to cool down your engine more than using an oil cooler and increases power for my bike and i've been using this almost for a year. you can ask him via email / messenger (sheldiez@yahoo.com) about this system technically.

even if its applicable, it probably takes more cash to spend....

they are good, but the bars on them are strange, and the rear brake sucks, and the rear sahock is a bit too firm.
better then a GayN250 though...

of course you can...

but you need a little effort to do it...

have you considered a Bandit 250, nice low seat height, no fairing, brilliant little bike

Hey el loco jalapeno,

When you brought your Yamaha Scorpio, did it come with a toolkit?

I just brought one and we couldn't find the toolkit under the seat....Maybe it was mistakingly taken out. Just want to know whether they are suppose to come with one.,

How do these engines deal with consistent speed. My way of thinking is - if they are struggling to push 120KPH and they appear to be fair wringing out to reach 100KPH, how long would they stay at 100KPH seeing as they are only air cooled.

alot of air passes over a motor at 100kph....but yes good point ive heard of lifans only getting from auckland to palmy on way to wellignton that blew big end bearings and it had only done like 500 k since new only 200 cc single 4 stroke that did about 120ish...

they just arnt designed to hold that speed....

this is why i ride kawasakis...they never made this kind of crap well maybe 20 years ago.
