izod10 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Quite like this bike as grocery getta. trying for second hand 150cc but common as hens teeth. If I buy a 115/125 cc a re-bore possibly could cheaply be done,new piston and rings think the suspension, carbs are all the same Any suggestions?

scubascuba3 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Don't bother messing about with all that, if you can't find one get a 150i Click 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may because I’m a smaller guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have briefly researched big bore kits and have been told "No can do". I bought a stock cylinder and piston but have yet to fess up in person and see what can be done. A work in progress. Not buying one unless I can do something. I'll go Vespa 155.

Issanman Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Grand Filanos are 125cc. Hybrid version also available. 62700฿ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwak250 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Had a honda scoopy for years and changed to a Grand filano. What I noticed was the the scoopy was quicker,didn't vibrate as much,much better build quality from the Honda. I wouldnt buy a nmax/Tmax as I just dont feel like they are as good as a honda and slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABreedApart Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) I would recommend the Yamaha Lexi over the filano, the lexi has more of what you like about the filano, and is faster and more powerful, go and test ride them both. The Yamaha lexi is designed for larger (taller) riders. Edited August 26, 2020 by ABreedApart Grammar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I think they are both great bikes. I prefer the look of the Filano. In the end it comes down to personal preference. You can't really do wrong with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx123 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Too much fuss for an errand scooter, I believe they're all the same and can get you from A to B. Get the one with a bigger storage for your groceries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenchamp Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Not really much difference between 125 and 150's performance wise. My GT125 Yamaha (same engine as filano?) keeps up with a pcx 150 up until about 60. The filano does have a higher seating position so you short arzez and those whose Thai ladies like to ride haha it might mean tip toes at the traffic lights.

GT125: 9.5 HP Click 150: 13.1 HP That's nearly 40% more power, and you definitely notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTB1977 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Tiny wheel scooters (13 inch) handle and ride like <deleted>. A Honda PCX does it all. Or the 150i. Honda has an over 74% market share here in thailand. 1,400,000 plus sold last year, compared to Yamaha 200,000 something sold. Hond has dealers and shops everywhere .

zaZa9 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 My Thai lady owns 22 rental scooters , and both her and I do not rate the Yammies. They are rougher starters and the springs start rusting within 6 months due to thin powder coating. ( We live near a beach ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
