Replaced the Festy for better Mileage

[rakfint]

I recently parted with my much loved little Festy, I missed her almost as soon as she was gone, but I think it's in good hands, a young guy bought it who I think has good intentions and hopefully will end up on here soon enough.

Anyways, after just a few days of catching buses to and from work i'd had enough! So through Craigslist I found a guy that imported around 50 lil scooters from Osaka - Japan.

This lil bad boy is a Honda pretending to be Italian, as you can see, a direct Vespa imitation, but the Japanese doing what they do best made it cheaper, lighter & more plastic.



Here are some specs.

Engine Power: 49cc, 3.6 KW (5.6 HP) @ 6500 RPM
0-50kms/ph: 12 Seconds
Mileage: 2.8L/100kms - 84MPG
Kerb Weight: 69kgs
Tank Capacity: 4.2 liters

Looks sweet! My friend has a Vespa (an actual vespa :p) It's a 3 speed clutch it's fun to ride. If I didn't need to go over 30 mph to get places I might actually do it.

Haha today my first day riding it and it was raining! I did choose a stupid time to buy a scooter in Vancouver where it will rain for the next 4 months straight.

Oh wells!

Sc72 - The red won't be staying.. it's in pretty bad shape!

wow...I couldn't get rid of a cage for a scooter...especially a festiva.

I have little honda 250 motorcycles that get 50mpg here in town and got 60-65 on flat ground back home. I plan to have a "scooter" someday...but one that goes a lot faster than 50kph, lol

would be pretty fun. might get pretty good fuel economy if you take it easy and dont weigh very much.
