    I don't know why I missed this video when it came out. I'm a big fan of these little scooters. I bought a retro 125cc scooters about 8 years ago after getting my son a SYM 50cc. I was always borrowing it to run errands, pop down the shops and just take down country lanes, so I decided to get one myself as it saved the faff of togging up and getting a motorcycle out just to do a round trip of 5 miles. I'm retired now but have kept this scooter and still use it all year round for short trips, having said that I have also been on some much longer runs with the local scooter club.

    We have a Peugeot 125 Speedfight scooter ,Mrs Dino LOVES to ride it! Even uses it for her work as a Mobile Hairdresser, I often use it for shopping, to save dragging Enfields out, round town unbeatable, longer trips don't faze it, as it has a fair lick of speed and keeps up with traffic, no I lie , it's faster than traffic and allows us to command position on the road. Cheers DINO and PANDA [ Mrs Dino].

    As you know I love scooters and it is like you said - there is much more to then then meets the eye. The best thing is theirs casualty .. You just hope one with normal clothes and ride in the rain.. There is no chain to clean, nothing to worry about.

    Had a Kymco 250 scooter for a couple of years a ways back, and a little 100cc Yamaha Aerox smoker before that, absolutely the most practical getabouts and loads of fun! Fantastic around town, shedloads of space under the comfortable seat for groceries, grog (hey, what now?) or a picnic lunch. Did a few trips on it too (the 250), sat on highway speeds and more without a care, and fantastic on fuel. A mechanic mate still has it and uses it to collect car parts and his lunch from town, doesn't miss a beat. I've contemplated getting another a few times, but I have an eye on a RE Classic (350 or 500) as they just look like I should own one. The accountant has warned me off getting another bike by hiding my wallet and shooting me dirty looks...

    Awesome video! You need to give your in town camera person a raise 😉. It's good to see the guy behind the videos.
    I had a Honda Elite 50 early in my riding career as well as a Yamaha Vino 125 a little later. Biggest reason was it was way cheaper to commute on with fuel, maintenance and parking than a bus pass and more convenient then my big bike. Little did I know it would be so fun. I will choose a motorcycle if I can only have one but love having a scooter as a backup. I'm probably going to sell my Spade mini moto in spring and replace it with a 150 to 300cc scooter.
    The freedom it can bring to younger and older people is very true and often overlooked by many. I always keep in mind as I get older or my medical condition worsens and I'm unable to handle a motorcycle, I will be able to transition into a scooter to maintain some freedom of mobility and fun.

    gameboy 🤣🤣 - maybe 30 years ago. A motorbike / moped at 16 is such a liberating experience I think all 16yo should do it. At 16 I had to move 15 miles out of town, my DT50 meant I could still get to work and see my friends. I can't believe how many 20-somethings never learn to drive or ride, especially at my place of work. WSMV posted a vid last week in which he was riding a 50cc moped he bought for his daughter, was great to see given the number of parents that consider motorcycles death machines yet happily encourage their children to ride pushbikes on the road!

    Morning TAYM nice to see you 😉.These small capacity bikes and scooters are marvellous and could be the answer to so many issues of air quality and congestion in our cities if those in charge weren't so blinkered about electric being the answer to everything. These little things are everywhere in many European cities and that increases interest in motorcycles generally. In the UK we say you have to be 16 to ride one but the problem with that is that parents say if you wait until you're 17 we'll buy you a car and a year is not long to wait if you could ride one at 15 then I think you would have a much greater uptake and that would translate to a higher percentage of youngsters moving on to bigger bikes. Cracking video well done to Mrs TAYAM for her camera skills.

Now that brings forth the all important question and that is what's the price ticket on this frugal little run around . Super ! 👌👍

    Mr. TAYM, Talk about a departure from the Naughty Boy bike series, the pendulum has definitely swung to the opposite side. Love, absolutely love, the new format, great shots of the town and countryside. BTW, I also love the standard mutter format, so maybe I'm just a fan. Back to the bike, I agree with the freedom and gateway drug aspects of a scooter for young people, and I also see the very practical use cases for in-town riding. The one thing that has me scratching my head is the use of an internal combustion engine. The electrics really seem to shine for this type of use and really have very little maintenance burden.

    Nice little scooter, I had never ridden a scooter in all my 40+ years of biking but last year just fancied giving it a go. After a false start I bought a BMW 350cc and love it. I got rid of a car when I retired and use the scooter for getting around but because of its comfort and engine capacity it can do much more like sit quite happily at 70mph on the motorway two up, think it does about 90 or just over top speed. Used it through this winter heated seats and grips, big top box so far only avoided the really frosty mornings. I did think at one point it’s all I need but then get on one of the bigger bikes and realise it’s not all I want so it compliments rather than replaces them. I like the idea of the smaller capacity but I’m a 30 mile round trip to the nearest town so feel I need a bit more👍

    Glad to witness a complete lack of bike/scooter snobbishness. They all have an engine and 2 wheels. I was hoping you were gonna get a Modena cos my AJS would need a weight limit around 100kg. carrying capacity, not counting what`s on the "curry hook". As you might remember I`ve been away from 2 wheels for about 10 years and I`ve been looking at scoots but in 125 capacity, as you say, twist and go, it`s too easy, have to take a closer look. Fantastc clip, by the way, very film-ic liked it, would have loved to see your normal trip to work on a workday in more traffic, maybe that`s to come when they deliver that Modena 125..Like the scooterboy togs, but no Parka, sacrilege!

I remember that his scooter was sold by Sears-Roebuck & Co. so who the actual manufacturer was I don’t know and, I believe, it was capable of 50-60 mph and this was 1963. Here in Phoenix the scooters appear to be larger and made by Honda, Suzuki and Lambretta predominantly. Really enjoyed your video, scoot on!

    Brilliant Mr TAYM ! And great to put a face to you too. My son has an almost identical spec bike (Lexmoto Nano), and he has just very recently progressed to a 125cc (cheap but naughty boy one that I’ve put a Black Widow exhaust on, and ripped the airbox off 😁).
    There are always hidden but usually easy ways of getting that 30mph up to 40mph as well. On my son’s, it was just a case of blocking two vacuum tubes that limit the throttle response. But don’t tell Mr Plod about that. 🤫😂

    I had to think about this one. Great video, very nice scooter, well done all the way around. Now here in my state in the US you can ride a 50cc bike/scooter. At 16, they can get a motorcycle endorsement if they have a drivers license. Meaning, if they have the money, could commute to school on a Kawasaki H2! So scooters aren't the answer to get more people on bikes here. I don't think a young person lusting for a chrome Thruxton will not get a scooter to tide them over 😂

    Back in '69 (yeah yeah, the summer of 69 and all that) when I first took to the roads, I was forced by parental influences to use an ageing Lambretta before my BSA days. I have to say though TAYM, if I had the funds there'd be a Vespa ensconced in the man-cave. The AJS looks a great little runaround, and to me it looks a tad Lambretta-esque.

Imagine if Mrs TAYM'S entry into the biking fraternity was also out there for all to see, how many more converts would that bring 🤔👍
    There's just one serious issue regarding such bikes, which is alarming for the future. Like you so rightly point out such bikes make so much sense for the future.
