... MIKE HOLLAND, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME HERE WITH YOUR GOOD TECH KNOWLEDGE

This thread should really appear in the technical section here, but with little general activity it might get overlooked. 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 ...

I pushed to go button on a new Tricity 155 ABS - Cyber Blue (because colour choice is limited). No, I have not even ridden one, only man-handled it extensively.  I have to thank members for their unwittinging assistance here: Pete Gailey, who gave a big thumbs up to the earliest 125, so I suspect he would be well pleased with the new 155; ...

Bikesales.com have a great video clip review of these two maxi scooters on Australian turf. Worth a look. Also a 'catchy' Vespa clip.
