Nah wasn't me on Facebook. Tone?
P200 engine in T5 sounds pretty good to me.

Anyone know much about these? Have been offered one at a decent price but have never heard of it before.
So what is it exactly? Is it as quick as a standard T5?

Nae bother.
Apparently there is a motorbike shop recently openend who also do scoots. The owner has expressed an interest so will see what comes of that.
Ta.

How do,
Have been considering bringing my PX (which is currently gathering rust in Lincolnshire at my girlfriend's parents) over to Sydney. Would be good to have something a bit more reliable than my Lammy! It'd cost a big whack to bring over so It'd make more sense to put sentimental value aside and get one local. So they are going to try and flog it for me.
What is the going rate for a PX 125 these days in Blighty? This is a 2006 model, has a fully tuned (by Joey on here!) Malossi 166, Stainless Stirling exhaust, Continental whitewalls, rear rack and a few other extras. The downside is it has gathered a bit of rust and hasn't been run properly in a few years (girlfriend's Dad was an old mod and fancied taking it for a spin every now and again to keep it in shape, this never happened) so tank is probably rotten amongst other things.
What's a fair price to start with? Oh yes, I'd done about 15,000K on it (including an epic Manchester to Orkney Isles round trip, that was a belter).
Cheers!
Dan

Look what happened to Clarkson when he dropped the Vespa on it's side all the time in Vietnam like it was a BMX. On his arse with lots of nice cuts and bruises. Karma ;D

If anyone has an email or website for Lambretta Art I'd love it.
Got some very smart mini domed Mod stickers off him years ago and never been able to track him or them down again since.

RE The Aus scooter scene ....
It's pretty strong here in Sydney, mainly ex pats but a decent helping of locals too.
Get yourself to the national rally on the Gold Coast at the end of September.

Insurance company wrote my PX off years ago. I got half their market value of it which was 800 quid.
Got it repaired (frame sorted on jig, new mudguard and spray where required) for 400 quid. Groovy gravy. Still wasn't worth all the hassle mind.

Sorted now with a mate. Wiring is a bit of a mess and could really do with starting again. That's for the next bloke though!

Actually, wrong on every single count regarding the aesthetics. It's not from Vietnam.
I knew what I was buying when I bought it. There's a dealer here who sells loads of them well over-priced, which is why I bought it 3rd hand for much cheaper to tide me over the year I planned to spend in Oz. As it is I'm probably staying here now and want to get it working fully to flog it and bring my PX over.
The LML engine is pretty solid, frame is good. Electrics aren't the best.

Hey.
The other day the lights and horn went altogether on my Vespa. I say Vespa but it is a VBB frame with 10 inch conversion and LML engine.
It has electric start but that went ages ago, stator I think. That's never bothered me as I never used it anyway.
I know bugger all about the electrics (and not much much about the engine!). Where's best to start?
I know the wiring isn't the best quality as a lad I know wired a new CDI for me and said so.
Ta,
Dan

Eh up Mark. All chaos at the Lyons it seems. Why can't they all just ride their scoots, have a beer and get along. They're like a bunch of old women, petty arguments about nothing. I'd probably not bother with it if I was back in Bllghty.

Interesting reading on the performance.
Regarding not being able to have a left side exit sports pipe and a spare wheel, you should be able to get round that by having longer bolts to secure the spare and push it out a touch. This worked for the Sterling on my PX.

Bin the pipe and buy something that will help the engine work better and which exits on the RHS. How come?
