Thanks for the site full of scooters. Man, I used to ride one of those older Silver Wings, a GL 650 with water cooled transverse V Twin. Sure is different now... I still am going thru all the docs and videos to learn more about these scooters, before I do anything.

Well, I've got a lot of time searching to see what there is, as I have to wait for a settlement. But, if I find something that hits me, "smack!!", it'll be mine. Don't worry, I'll let you know... I am not a mechanic, but I am a decent "tinkerer", so is there a website that shows wrecked Chinese scoots? Who knows, I may end up doing a Chinese FrankenScoot, LOL.
Still got lots to learn about these things..
Oh, and I forgot... Bwahahahahahah!!!!!!!

Thanks, Alley, I had thought of the Voyager Kit on one of those scoots, but for some reason I keep drifting toward the RT concept. Hmm, maybe I just ought to graft a tilting 2 wheel axle unto a Silver Wing, huh? LOL

Okay, seeing as I am new to these smaller scooter engines, I need some suggestions and help, please. I have have problems throwing my leg up over seats of regular bikes, so a scoot is the frame I've got to go with. I like the 300KTB style, but am not sure that my leg would go over. So it looks like maybe the Zodiak will be the way I go. I am 5' 9", 220lbs, and would be happy with 55MPH in slightly rolling hills. My question is what, if any, can I do to punch out more RPM and/or MPH out of that cute little engine?
The only thing that would sway me toward the 300 KTB is the fact that it would probably be a little easier to throw a bigger engine and rear end (Say, a Honda SilverWing engine and wheel) than one in a rear drive trike...
Any suggestions?? Thanks!
