Reply To: Hello from USA.
Ty for the welcome Marcel and I apologize for taking so long to respond back. I started off riding scooters about 8 years ago or so and got used to them for awhile.Ive always been a “gear head” so to speak starting with cars and I have always done my own mechanic work on pretty much anything I’ve ever owned and other than a bicycle when I was younger, I never rode anything on 2 wheels until I got my first scooter in 2017. I have to say I never thought going 30-40mph would ever be that much fun. I really enjoyed riding scooters, but I wanted to go a little faster so I upgraded a little each year until I was riding my 150 that I had did a lot of work on and had turned into a 171cc and a woman pulled out in front of me and I t-boned her in the driver’s door. Luckily I was only going about 40 when I saw her start to move and was able to slow myself to about 25 before impact and I was lucky enough to come away with only a pretty bad gash on my shin and 1 broken wrist, however the bike wasn’t so lucky. It was totaled so then I said ok time for another upgrade, albeit only a small one in terms of CC’s but a huge upgrade in terms of “bike”. I saw a 2002 GV250 for sale and fell in love! So I bought it and have been loving every minute of it since…lol. You’re right, it’s a very comfortable ride, I love how it looks, its stance and the ride of it is amazing. And even though it’s only 250cc, it’s no slouch in the power/speed department neither. I plan to do some upgrades but not sure what if any aftermarket parts are out there for them yet. I’m gonna try and post a pic or two in a moment, hopefully I can figure it out…lol. I’ve gotta go for now but any advice and tips on aftermarket stuff for the GV’S would be much appreciated. Until next time guys, later.
