sebastion Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I really tried to wait for the tl200 but the px 150 vespa has arrived in very small numbers before production ceases forever. Nothing like a shifting two stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did a trip (2 up) on our new Grand Filano 156mpg full to full, Our Wave gave us 202mpg when it was new, the Lifan 120mpg. A friend of mine got 120mpg out of his 1 year old PCX got around 120mpg. I am told the new Filano is better than the Fino......... I am getting average on my pcx150; 102mpg (UK), 85mpg(US) doing city riding. My old carb Fino was worse: app 93mpg (UK). Not that I care much, but topping up is a task I rather not do too often. I heard the latest pcx got a big fuel tank, mine is only about 5-5.5 lit. A big fuel tank is a huge plus for me when looking at scooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only (!) got 199 mpg from my Wave 110i when I was running it in. That's proper gallons of course. Not the itty bitty American ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanB Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I really don't like 2 strokes, but somehow they belong in Vespas, they had a few left on UK Ebay recently, very cheap.......... Edited November 28, 2016 by AllanB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LammyTS1 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Went to see some 2 stroke Vespa's here. Restored one was 150,000. Original but nice 85,000 & one without book 45,000. They were all 60's sprints. A restored 70's rally 200 was 400,000. Anyone know prices of a PX?Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fuel gauge was low so went to fill up costing me 160 baht. Have done 80km 2 up since & has only dropped 1 or 2 segments on my digital fuel gauge. Gonna take a lot of miles & maybe weeks, before having to fill up again. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PX125 in uk is £3400, about 150,000 baht.Import taxes are crazy!When did India start importing Vespa's to Thailand? The Sprints I saw were Italian but wondered what models would be Indian over here?I've got a Vespa T5 Classic back in UK that I bought over 20 years ago, same as PX but with a faster T5 engine and been MOTD & driven every year. Still going strong without any repairs needed. LML sell in the UK but they only cost £2200 and depreciate quickly. Indian electrics can have problems.

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa ConnectYeah but that is the price you pay. Also the taxes include a pollution tax because it's two stroke and only Euro 3 compliance. Lol. Made me laugh when I read that when I see all the belching diesels on the road. How typical of Thailand. Enforcing rules on paper, not in reality.

Big bikes are impractical for Phuket. After nearly 70000 km on big bikes and probably something like 10000 on scooters in Phuket, I disagree strongly. Big bikes are more practical and safe than a scooter. Especially because of much increased stability on the crappy roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't ride it as nimble through traffic like I can on a scooter. Yes stability and fun in the twisties is great on the cb but phuket has very little to offer safely in that regard. If I lived in chaing mai, I'd have a stable of litre bikes. Sent from my EVA-L19 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to buy a scooter and the Scomadi looks the best looking scooter by far. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Yes we have many and vespa too Scomadi since 2015 the oldest one vespa 1963 oldest one and the new kind 2010 And 50 Yamaha and Hondas and I'm Mechanic too and we rent them all out all pcx last ok but wear a lot Vespa are strong and doesn't wear to much but are expensive in spare parts but after 5 years Honda and Yamaha starts to cost the same but a lot more work. Scomadi I don't know more than two years but so far no problem As quality goes vespa and scomadi are better build and drive better and brake a lot better than any Yamaha nmax is the best of Yamaha/honda with abs and far better than pcx ,brakes, body ,engine. Scomadi comes next vespa the best We tested braking distance from 60 km/h on all bike's we have but the nmax +the new Yamaha I forgot the name but 155cc too are the fastest standard the vespa fastest tuned polini second scomadi Honda and Yamaha gets faster but are very unstable tuned that's why vespa which get stronger tuned is the fastest As for pcx I don't drive that if I don't have to fix them but up to everyone We drive scomadi and vespa ourselves And I think the scomadi looks the best And with the 155 cc tuned it's faster than pcx nmax but scomadi have a 200cc new arrival soon I buy it 6-8 month I always like to see them ride for a while but have injection and water cooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
