Honda Reflex looks much nicer than the Forza... Shame they stop making them...

I tend to agree with you Mike. I only hope they don't do to scooters over the coming years what they've done to motorcycles. So many of them now are not only impractical for trips longer than a brief Sunday ride but downright ugly. I can carry my wife on the back of my scooter, you'd have to be a contortionist to ride on the back of some of these bikes these days.

I hate to break it to you Luke, but the China manufacturers have to register with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to sell here. If there was a safety related issue with a Chinese scooter, like the leaking fuel pump on your Morphous, they would be obligated under law to report it. I'm not seeing any recalls for OUR scooters so I'm guessing there aren't any inherent flaws in their design, unlike the leaking fuel pump on your high pressure fuel injection system which could turn your bike into a sizzling flame thrower if you don't get it fixed.

Hey every one, any one have any ideas about how many chinese scooters in this country for every jap scooter? I would guess there must be 2 or 3 chinese for every jap scooter..........for all any one knows there may be ten times as many by now, and no recalls!

the guy who bought my bandit hit a deer at 90, it bent the forks and slid a couple hundred feet on its side and ground almost all the way thru the engine guard, but after some replacements it is still running like new, try that with a morph.....a morph is so low the deer would take your head off when you hit one at 55.

You're really stuck on the tin cans and conduit. hahaha, of course it's a lot less heavier because it's made up of tin cans and conduit pipesYou'll have to explain this one. Are you saying the Honda Rebel is made up of tin cans and conduit? Are you saying that a Suzuki Bandit is made up of tin cans and conduit? Are you saying that all Japanese motorcycles are made up of tin cans and conduit. If so they're doing pretty good. I wonder what they make Japanese scooters out of then. Recycled Boat anchors and old bicycles? How about this? www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/products/modelspecs/685/0/specs.aspxWet Weight: 414 pounds-or about the same (or less) than a Yamaha Morphous. |
