Hi mate - sorry for the confusion - Operations is on unit 02-23 & Show room is on unit 03-22 EastLink Building.

 

Thank you for your visit & it was great to have been able to chat with you.

 

Thanks for the chat too, it was great getting an introduction to the various products available in your showroom, and for showing me in detail the mods you have on your bike.

 

Reconditioned and charged the battery successfully and went for a good ride yesterday...seems so much more powerful now...!!!

 

:p

 

Looking for ways to charge the car battery now...hoping for the same "miracle" feel...! Haha!

Hi echris, they are a pair of HID lights. Wrapped up so it's legal in SG. Unwrapped outside SG.

Hi Derrick,

 

Are the light wraps custom-made or an accessory from the lamp manufacturer? What material is it?

 

Am guessing the lights are on a separate switch, are they cabled direct to the battery?

 

Thanks!

Hi Tri Mix,

 

The light wraps are custom made at $60 a pair. It's done at Beauty World Plaza. 2nd floor. It's a family owned Motor vehicle seat wrapper. Craftsmanship is top notch, better than the jalan besar ones, who only know how to wrap and staple. They design and stitch to your customized specifications. It's a pretty tucked away shop, and living near them for 23 years, only recently got to know them. They like to keep a low profile, but are nice and skillful people. Many types of materials to choose from, my light wrap is synthetic leather. Say hi to the kitty for me if you go visit! :p

 

Lights are on separate switch, any motor shop who does led lights on motorcycles, will be able to hook up the electrical system easily. The HID lights runs on 12volts, but has a electronic ballast which ramps it up to 23000volts (not a typo), which fires up the HID lamp.

 

Cheers!

Derrick

Have tried 150km/h safely. 170km/h not sure. Last time bike, Ducati 999 hit 150km/h on 1st gear no problem.

 

It's a 500cc maxi scooter. No comparison to 999cc superbike. 999cc superbike no comparision to 800cc motogp bike--> Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda 800cc @ 338.6 km/h 2009 Qatar. http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/145455/1/qatar_motogp_800cc_top_speed_beats_990_best.html

Hi Guys , anybody here has got a givi topbox installed? I ordered a trk52n but am not sure how to get it on my future fuoco.... I asked a few shops some say can just put on bike no need rack...some tell me must order base plate plus bracket....really wonder which is which....>___

 

I did my research and seems like there's a givi e710 rear plate then can be easily fitted onto the fuoco and my trk52 box can then go on it....wonder if anyone can confirm that? many thanks !!!

Hi all,

 

I got a brand new Fuoco 2 weeks ago and i rarely use it as i am driving as well. Was a bit disappointed when i got the bike i waited for months as the matt black i got is not fully black for the entire bike. The front and rear alu rails are powder coated in silver.

 

Any recommendation of bike shops that can dismantle them and either respray or powder coat them to black or red?

 

Thanks a million. Hope to meet up with fellow Fuoco and 3 wheelers kakis for some knowledge sharing as well.

 

Cheers and Happy New Year to all.

Hi Kamatrix, i got mine at 15.8K with comprehensive insurance, 6mths road tax and $1689 coe. 11.5K with insurance and transfer fee should get close to 13K. U might want to consider a brand new bike. They have got matt grey in stocks.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I'm considering buying the fuoco but 2 issues issues:

 

1) I heard the tilt lock system tends to give trouble (also on MP3s), be it the relay or the hydraulic itself. What's your experienc?

2) this current Fuoco model has been around since 2007, a bit long in the tooth. And there has been no updates whatsoever over the past 5-6 years except for minor colour changes. British riders from modernvespa forum have even confirmed with their Piaggio dealers there that no new Fuocos are coming to the UK market for 2013. Is this a sign that the current Fuoco is on the verge of being discontinued, or a successor new model is imminent? ADH, the Singapore distributor, is not commenting on this. What's your opinion?
