i just dont see why it's such a big deal to make a true advancing curve cdi,,,cars and motorcycles have had them for decades,,,and worldwide sales of scooters is huge,,,(epic porportion huge) so i would think they'd be everywhere,,,,it's not like there's no volume to support the developement

Well, I kinda had a discussion with another moto mechanic about that subject on why didnt they make more products for the scooters like they do for the motorcycles,  the old school mechanic stated that because they never had a reason to, scooters werent meant to go fast so why would they invest time and money into a aftermarket part or improving the scooters when there so cheap to replace brand new......... Key pharse being "Scooters were not meant to go fast" and from that point I argued with him till he walked off, with the right mods a scooter could be decent.... dont get me wrong it will never come close to my 2008 yamaha r6 but a scooter makes a fun side project to try and make fast, and with his comments sturing around in my head I went home and took my 2007 alien Longbo 150cc 1p57qmj scooter "Roketta Style" and stripped it down and give it a complete make over to try and prove him wrong, the scooter will be 100% custom but will be nice and wont be worth half ill put into it but, I WILL PROVE HIM WRONG, Ima post up pics of a before and after, along with progress pics, im going around to diffent sites getting opinions and advice now, so if you have any good ideas or opinions on the matter please post I would like to hear the docs info on a custom nice/comfortable/daily drivable/fast scooter.

Leme provide a USA MFG'r perspective. I don't care what it is lets Hot Rod it!
Problem, This market is buying a Chinese scooter for under $1,000. I can mfg a rotating package that will blow your mind.
This market was instantly whored out by Cheap Fake Junk. Who's going to pay for Top Quality USA product that actually Stand behind there product (warranty) and Included's Technical support and Installation Instructions? Nada, Know-body just doing the market research I lost money.
Its bed creating by I  can't sell a dmn thing unless its on Sale or Heavily Discounted. Well we get what we get, Junk Fake Product. 
You Want all Custom product? You ready to Pony Up?
