Part of the reason in Wellington there is only a very small section that is labelled 'motorway'. From Ngauronga to the terrace tunnle is our only motorway, because it's the only way into town from the hutt. It's illegal to ride a registered moped on motorways, or bicycles for that matter.

That's an interesting point. When they changed the regos over, groan 15years back or so to comphewter they seemed to make all 50cc things Mopeds. hence my RG50 no longer needed a WOF despite having needed one every year preceeding. Oh well, whatever. But i used to ride it on the Motorway, heck I took it to the Cold Kiwi 6 times despite having an 1100 in the garge. it would pull an indicated 118 in perfect conditions with rider under the paintwork. Of course that lined up with 105 real kph, but just fine for traffic.
Only time I rode a Scroter, a Phewgott scroter no less was in an endurance bucket race at the miniscule tyre lined Slipway. Think me & Mark H came 3rd, but only through his skill, not mine, the whole -throttle on, brakes-on- apex- release brakes- thing while the jolly little thing tried to fall over scared me silly.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Ah - thays why they pass you. They are not worried about it being a scooter at all. My guess is that they just see the Peugeot label and think "fuck - I'd better get in front of that before it explodes and showers the road in hollendaise sauce n stuff."Maybe its because my scooter is uber-gay that is the problem? Its a Peugeot haha Its fucken fast though

Your interesting point was my point. Mopeds are not allowed on motorways, so they made all scooters mopeds.
I counter your interesting point with another. Your RG does not actually meet the requirements of a moped. There is a maximum KW output attached to the designation. The RG will be well over. If a cop challenges you (because he was bored or summat), it is your burden to prove it should be so registered, if you fail, hello tickets.

More important than the kW limit (it's 2 iirc), is the requirement that it be physically incapable of over 50kmhr, thought I'm pretty sure 60kmhr gets rounded down, I don't think 105kmhr would...

Hey I wasn't the one to register it as a Moped, it was an administrative cock up as it was first registered as a motorcycle, a 50cc one, which was a separate & cheaper class. Either way it was sold 10 years ago now, unlikely to still be going.

I have been riding my 125cc scooter for a while now and while I like its nimbleness and storage capacity, psychotic drivers (when the see it) see a scooter and think "Oooooh some schoolgirl on a 50, a legitemate target". A short angry middle aged man then gets incandescent with rage. It doesnt happen as much riding the street triple.

One hell of a ride.
This all depends (as usual) on the vehicle.
The Vespa GT300ie is good for 140kph and is one of the best fun urban vehicles there is - The big Gileras are also a hoot.
It's actually a lot more fun to ride a 16hp unit around town than a 160hp one. You just have to stop being a wanker to understand it.
