Glad that you are enjoying the Max 300 Tony. Should be settled at 3k I would think. A lighter weight than your previous two rides, it should be mare manageable. Weight is always a consideration for me, now. Is stepping through the scooter an easy thing to do?

Scooters sales bucked the trend to improve their market share. Piaggio back at N0#1 with their Fly 150. Also, Yamaha scooter sales up 103%. A good thing for the competition that brings. You are an improved statistic, Tonyr. The little Honda CB 125E has romped away with great sales figures. No, it's not a scooter.

A new Yamaha Tricity 155 sits in my garage. With only 45k, now, on the clock it is far too early to call a review. But some things are immediately identifable. When I have the time ....

I'm hoping to take delivery of a new Tricity 155 this week. Should be interesting as I have not even test ridden one. I know the back streets around where the dealer is situated (Kogarah), so will head down to Sandringham where the streets are wide and relatively quiet for some practice before swinging for home.

So, what could be the  ramifications for a new scooter that (say 150cc) that came off the production line 18 months prior to any sale date. Do the scooters get boxed once they have passed quality checks, to be left in ...

... also read that it was one of Piaggios slowest selling scooters. So much for high hopes.

I have just seen a safety recall for these two models. Claims a tendancy for frame flex which coluld result in frame cracking. Ouch!!! No winners here

.. oh, Tonyr are you able to confirm the build date for your new scooter? The reason being the dealer offering a new Tricity 155, just delivered to them, raised an invoice in my favour in view of my proceeding. What was identified within the paperwork was a build and compliance date 10/16. Yes, this would be a very early production 155. I am not ...
