k. 1 wk aft riding the aa200, here's my summary

 

Being an uncle, I find that the need for praticality is overwhelming den the need for extreme speed, extreme handling n the wow factor.

I love my aa200 as much as I love my r1.

Acceleration is jus nice to get out of sticky situation n for overtaking at highway. top speed is abit disappointin as it clock only 125 on the speedo n 115 on my gps.

Handling is quite stable for a scooter n storage is enuff if u have a topbox. brake is abit not up to expectation even wid the ebc hh pad up front. but the rear sure bites better den the front. believe most scooter r rear biased.

Its abit heavy n hard to do tight manuerver but overall still consider a gd scoot.

fc was 24km/l when I 1st got it n now its abt 25.5km/l aft the servicing. do note tat I always warmup for quite awhile even jus park for 1-2 hrs only. for me, 75% riding 2up n abit heavy on the throttle.

So if u ride like an ah pek alone most of the time, believe 28km/l is achievable.

btw, fc for the r1 is abt 13km/l so this is really gd. but my previous x1r managed 60km/l n thats crazy...

 

 

you suan me that im an ah pek riding alone most of the time!!! (cos i got 28km/l the last pump...

Bro, I tink the left hand activates both front and back brakes, whilst the right hand lever activates only the front. This is probably why u tink the rear bites better. I also Ah Pek riding AA200. Wanted to sell many times, but finally still like it better than other makes. Mine seems to be very hot when I'm stuck in traffic jams. Looks like this thread getting more hot lately also.

 

No wonder the left brake work so gd! Thanks for the info!!

 

Btw, AA bike odometer is in miles (unless ur late model is diff fr my '04 model). I suppose u oredi converted into km.

 

Mine is in km. log card stated manufactured 2004, reg sept 2007.

Yeap, I used to ride a Ducati m400. Seriously a nice ride but wanted to try something different and my other half keeps complaining. Thus aa now.

I used to ride a Duc M400 for abt 2 years and sold it off. Loved the bike, great for joy rides and cornering - light and responsive. Bought another Duc , this time a S4RS. So different in character - more like a wild stallion.

 

So now riding both AA and S4RS.

Wat's up Conrad... busy on the Ducati Monster thread I see. Missed that 1 and only late evening ride. My poor S4RS failed Vicom recently... sigh too many blings added on.

 

Cheers.

AAs getting to be a very rare sight these days. So many Gila-eras & Piaggios. Can't imagine Conrad on a Scarabeo...

 

I love the Vespa GTs, but no one selling a good late model used one.
