Which type?

[phatish]

i just can't decide which bike to get... a scram (Wr2) or a Vespa...Help me pples...

[tiong82]

well, as if all new bike buyers, u gotta decide wat is the main purpose of your bike, for transport, for image etc, then depends on how much is your budget, and wat's your priority, eg. fuel consumption, 2 stroke or 4 stroke bike, maintainence cost....

Man...its hard choosing a bike...i want it for transport Yes but i too wanna try trial riding and MotoX. What's the diff fuel consumption for both bikes? any idea? WR is a 2S bike..while vespa is direct? both needs 2T. so no diff yeh...

wr2 and vespa both 2strokes (unless u talking abt the newer vespa GT).

 

being a scram, wr2 would need more effort (and possibly $$) in maintenance. it is pretty versatile, can be set up for transport use (fuel efficient). but u gonna lose the power for off road though, and vice versa.

 

but if u want to try motox and trail, then prepare to spend extra cash (make it a lot of extra cash!). u will need a full face helmet & googles, gloves, boots, knees and elbows guards. these are the minimum items u must have. for mx, for ur own safety sake, u might also need to invest in tops & pants, chest protector and kidney belt.

 

vespa is a transport bike. not too fanciful but it brings u from place to place with minimum fuss.

I'm riding a LML PX-150 (exactly the same as Vespa PX-150) and since I travel only max 80 - 85km/h on the road (dats the top speed btw) my FC is 34-35km/l. It's still okay, though it's slow and requires 2T. Vespa has strong pick up too. I ever (accidentally) moved on in gear 4.
