Good review, the bath tub mudgaurd is based on the classic Innocenti Lambretta series two models.
Thanks. I remember seeing it on an older bike but couldn’t remember which one. 👍
@@GillyBikes I had this one - Lambretta 150 Li with same mudguard - dated first half of 60ties , There was at time awailable beutifull suprstructure to assmeble on top of hood pressed with chormium steel .Would be nice if it could be availabe today for RA. After I had lambretta TV 175 and both had all in own style -but they are not to be mixed.
It’s styled on the S2 li TV Lambretta, that’s why the front mudguard is the way it is. I have the Lambretta S2 with a nannucci mudguard on it. I hope someone does one for the TG
I love the look of this bike. Great paint job too. 😎
I love the paint job. I think it really does suit this bike
Good looking little motorbike, the new retro modern Lambrettas are also aesthetically pleasing
I think so too
I had 'this' scooter in the 70's, but always lusted after the next generation Lambretta!
I’m like that with every bike. No matter what I have I always want something else.
That’s a cool looking scooter. I want one when I’m older.
Me to 😂
This resembles
Lambretta - 150 cc. In India this vehicle is admired even today. 👍
They do look really nice 👍
Love my TG. I have the ivory burgundy combo. As already said the front guard is to match the style of the time. I like the key is colour coded and matched to the side panel design 😉
I swapped out to bar ends. Indicators are designed to match the rear panel handles.
I didn’t realise they did all of that colour matching. That’s a really nice touch. 👍
Hi Neil, Do you still own it.. any issues so far?
❤❤❤❤❤
Great looking scooter Lambretta Li copy hence the large front mudguard Great retro scooter. I have a GT but I will get a tg Great for scooter rode outs
Absolutely. I love them. The GT is probably my favourite looking one though.
nope, it actually modelled on Lambretta TV175 Series 2
Front mudguard was called a ducks bill as it is a repro Lambretta series 2
I believe so. I’m not a fan of the ducks bill. Looks a bit to big.
lambretta clone good scoot the mudguard is the series 2 tv 175 thats why it looks like that because of being a replica
Great review. I noticed a mechanic ranting about it saying the engine is garbage... but that's only one person's viewpoint. Overall what is the general consensus, good, bad etc? Here in Australia I'm only seeing great reviews and have been considering selling my Vespa GTS300 to get one of the Royal Alloys....
Personally I wouldn’t change from the Vespa. The 300gts is a great bike. The RA’s are nice bikes but putting them side by side with the Vespa they are not as good. Still good. Just not as good. The Vespa is more comfortable and the engine has a bit more zip to it. The RA’s look great but in my opinion you swapping would be a downgrade.
That a classic Series 2 shape inc mudguard....it's this shape which makes it a classic...
It’s just weird. Do you like them?
the larger mudguard is homage to a series 2 Lammy pre 63
I believe so. I just don’t like it. Feels very dated.

I like it. I just don't like all the 'chrome' I would rather have those bits in black. Vespa do a 'trim pack' that allows you to 'darken' your bike, um, scooter if you want. I don't know if RA or an aftermarket accessories company offer similar. I like the TG in bold single colours. They offer a deep red metallic that looks lovely. RA need to find those two extra ponies to take it up to the limit.
I’m the same about the chrome. I think it looks nice when it’s all clean but I would never clean it so for me I would need less of it.
@@GillyBikes Yes that's me too. Even though the technology has improved when it comes to applying chrome (and all paints) if you don't look after it it becomes tatty even if it doesn't rust. I think both RA and Vespa would gain some sales with a 'street model'; something designed to help the rider keep it clean. Who knows? The new Lambrettas are offered in less shiny finishes and are supposedly dynamically better than RAs. Too much choice really.
Speedo is about 4mph over true speed.
No concerns about running in time?
Non
@@GillyBikes thanks for the reply. I’m considering buying an RA and the manual advises specific running-in directions.
Its all made to look like a series 2 lambretta.
I believe so. Do you like them?
Is this the 9hp or the '23 15hp version?
I believe it’s the 15hp one
It is the 9hp air cooled motor@@GillyBikes
@@royalalloyglobal1205 I guessed wrong 🫣
They CAN get there but wouldn't push a 125 for very long! 😮
That’s true. I wouldn’t take them to their limit for to long. They won’t last doing that.
@GILLYBIKES only know that coz me riding a 125 myself, was told that by my local shop. I just gotta hang in there to gain experience before getting full license,, need more speed though 😁
125’s are a great way to get experience.
@@Wetangle I have the exact same bike and colour, I've had it for a year and can tell you it'll hit 65 no problem and I've done plenty of ride outs many over 100 miles and not one problem so far, it's a cracking wee machine and won't let ya down👍
@@belfastsoul8863 Have you still got it? any problems so far?
I'm a motorcycle mechanic, and I was recently asked to repair a blown base gasket on one of these machines. It was only just over 2 years old with 7,000 miles on it. The owner told me that he took it to his main dealers where he originally bought the machine, and they didn't want to repair it. They just wanted him to buy a new engine and get them to fit that for £2,000. Absolutely ridiculous. I said I would replace the gasket for him. I've not worked on one of these machines before, and thought I might have to take the engine out to get the head and cylinder off to get to the base gasket. It's fitted with a double overhead camshaft liquid cooled single cylinder Sym engine. I managed to get access to the topend without taking the engine out by removing the seat, tank and bodywork and subframe to get good access to the engine. It took 3 hours in total to complete the job. I wasn't impressed with the build quality of this machine compared to a Japanese scooter. This fault shouldn't have happened with such low mileage on a scooter that was regularly serviced by the dealer. The same dealer that tried to rip their customer off. Not good. I personally wouldn't recommend one of these scooters to a customer if asked about them.
Not a SYM engine, nor is it derived from a SYM engine.
Yes I think you’re right. The lambretta uses a sym engine. To be fair the sym engine in the Lambretta performs really well.
Is it liquid cooled or air cooled?
I believe it’s air cooled.
This one is air cooled but they do offer a liquid cooled one too. Same 125 but usefully quicker, well worth the extra
I would definitely go for the liquid cooled one for the first extra power
Hi looking at this model the tg royal air cooled alloy what is top speed in these please if anyone can help?
They will do 60mph I can’t see them doing much more if anything.
GP model or TG model?…that is the question 🤔
Difficult choice. I would be happy with either. What would you pick?
@@GillyBikes lean towards the GP but only because I’m 6 ft and nigh on 16 stone!…it just seems a tad taller etc 👍😎( oh and the 300 version too!….😉)
It has to be the 300. That thing can shift.
