The sccoter resided in Stevenage in Herts and I collected the same day and in the same van as the PX200,

My first reaction on seeing it was one of disappointment at its condition but that was very unfair.

The test run revealed the speedo not to be working which was a concern - how acurate was the mileage? But that's a lottery anyway.

After I got it home that night and gave it about 90 minutes TLC I could see it really was a nice scooter and that my first reaction was out of order.

The scooter is actually an Li150 as marked on the frame but was advertised, badged and registered in the log book as an Li125 (learner legal). It's insured as an Li186.

I got my son to pace me in his car so I could check out the performance and gague speed. He tracked me up to 60mph at which point I overtook him. Seemed about right for the 186 Mugello engine which the seller did say was sweet.

Speedo now fixed I've taken it on a few runs, mostly Maidenhead and back (55 miles) and it goes 'off the clock' which in this case is 70 mph plus. I wouldn't stake too much on the accuracy of that however although one of the guys at the club says his 186 Mugello does just that and when I've followed him around he does not hang about. Anyway, it's a nice scoot.

On the left hand side are some pictures that Graham Harris, the previous owner, sent me. He was a member of the North Herts Scooter Collective and you can see some of these picts on their web site.

Graham said he often used to take his son out on the runs and rallies.

October 2008 - Facelift

The four-in-one rear backrest and carrier had been welded and broke in late September and rather than replace it I decided to do a face list on the scooter as there were a few things I wanted to change.

The following work was carried out by Scooter Indulgence of Swindon on account of my being a mechanical nonce.

1. New engine mounts. The lads at Scooter Indulgence noticed these needed doing when I got them to sort out some wiring problems and check it over after I bought the scooter.
2. New seat. The exisitng seat did not 'lock down' and was in a poor state of repair. Plus I wanted a black one.
3. New grey rubber trim kit. I couldn't get on with the blue one.
4. Repaired rear floor boards. One side had been welded and the other side had a dent. The boys at Scooter Indulgence did a great job with the repair and then matched up the paint perfectly with some kind of spectrometer device that got the colour just right.
5. While they had the paint out I had the rear hub painted as it was bad as well as the flywheel cowl.
6. Fitting of a sprint rack.
7. Fitting of a leg shield spare wheel carrier.

Picked the scooter up on 8 November and took it for a ride once home. Looks great and with the new engine mounts fitted its now a really smooth ride.

Nice job Simon & Dave"
