Nah, I'd rather have something that goes round corners, and doesn't feel as though it's being steered from the top of a ladder.

You say that as if there is something wrong with it.....

all part of the charm

Of course, a lammy will only go round corners when it is running..

Not after last nights shenanigans from young MasterD. (MrsD has been talking to Mrs F again)

How many Lammys have seized on Auckland's Mways in the last year....and how many Bellas?

ETs are just mopeds though, aren't they?

Would that be because Lambretta owners tend to know what they're doing?

LX150 as in 150cc. You can get kits for them. They handel a lot better than the gt200 or runner IMHO. If your going to tour the the gt200 but if your going places only and hour or so away then the Lx150 is more than sutiable.

ETs and LXs come in 50cc 2T and 125(UK) / 150cc (everywhere else) 4T versions. As Texmo says, you can get kits for them (I have a 187cc Malossi cylinder on my aforemention ET).

Go and see Goetz at Scooter E Motion in Eden Terrace, he's the man for Piaggio / Gilera stuff in Auckland.

Pish - it's just the law of averages

Personally I think the runner is a significantly better loooking bike.
And if you were going for the GT200 you should just go for the GTS250 anyway because its a freakin awesome scooter! 100km/h is a sinch, it will cruise all day, and probably with two people.

Admittedly I havent ridden a GT200 so I may be just blabbing but I was certainly impressed by the GTS250

**MisterD** · 10th February 2007, 09:59

The issue with the GTS is whether it really is that much better than the GT. Personally I'd be put off by the fact that the electronic ignition needs a laptop to service....

**ICE180** · 10th February 2007, 10:37

The runner that I have got is a 2T one and does 100kmh easy with 2up
And yes before it was breathed on with extra biits.

I rode a Gt200 once it was extremly breathed on and it handled completly different to the runner

**Morcs** · 10th February 2007, 11:07

Go the Runner, especially the new one.

Im in the opinion that the 'new retro' type scoots are just horrid and wrong.

**Pogo2** · 10th February 2007, 12:03

Called in to Motomail today and drooled over the Runner. Certainly gets my vote on looks (at this stage), but would like to have a test ride on one! Vespas, whilst likely to be technically advanced, are not really my thing as I'm not into the "traditional" scooter look.

And as for the Gilera Nexus - thats a whole new category again
