I think my count is only 6 scooters if I remember right. No idea about how many motorcycles though, been riding 55 years and had most all of them all but a harley, the biggest an 86 aspencade and fastest a 1200cc bandit. jjohn

3 scooters since 2010 - Buddy 150, SymRV250 and my present Yamaha Majesty 400. In the '70's I started with motorcycles: a Honda CB125, CB 165; CB200, CB550K (all used).

11.

I currently own two, my wife has one, my dad, brother, sister, and brother in law all own scoots too which I do all the work to.

My current scoot is a Roketa/Baccio mc-23-150, my wife has a 2013 BMS Roman 150, and my project is a Redstreak 80cc Venice.

This effect you have with fuel injection is similar to the effect of a mild turbo; especially noticeable in the low end.
It's like having the power of a 66cc kit with having only a 49cc cylinder.

Uhm Fuel injection injects fuel, hence the name. In most scooters it injects fuel into a throttle body the vacuum from the engine still sucks through this body. Not sure which system you're talking about?

I've got 3. Two 2ts and one 63cc 4t.

I've got a DiBlasi foldable scooter, which is more like a minibike than anything. Then I've got The Honda Zook, which is similar to a go-ped, but is still a scooter somehow.

Then I've got my favorite; my Bashan Peace Sports 50, with an NGK Iridium spark plug, orange ignition coil, newmotoz racing cdi, 85jet, openflow filter, 9g sliders, and ghetto-rigged pc speakers acting as a stereo system.

Still no injection of air the action of the crank sucks in air...

Hi Rob
Did you fully read and understand the article
Direct qoute
In the top of the motor, there is a mini air compressor. This compressor pressurizes air from the crank to approximately 85PSI and pumps it into the injection head (purple). The fuel is also pressurized by a fuel pump and this pressurized gas goes to the fuel injector. Then the compressed air is introduced to the gas by the air injector. Then the pressurized mixture of air and gas is shot into the cylinder (orange) which atomizes the gas into a very light mist, which gives you faster burning, more horsepower, and less fuel consumption.

Ok I see it. Not a typical 4 stroke configuration, quite ingenious actually. Is this the system used on Chinese Scooters. Doesn't look like it would really even work with a 4 stroke. I have been wrong before though...

Hi
This is proprietary Aprilia technology and found on no other engines only the 2 stroke DiTech used on the Aprilia SR 50

Thanks Hank always a joy.

Hi all, Not counting all the motor bikes. I've had two. My first is a 49cc fold up & #2 is 09 fashion.

Nice link hank. Taught me something new. Thanks
LOL>>>Priceless...:thanks:

Three....but 1 got wrecked due to an idiot. Funny thing is that I can't imagine NOT owning a scooter now.

It's in the blood.

wheelbender6 07-09-2013 07:28 PM

I have owned 3 motorcycles and a motorized motorcycle, but I'm on my first scooter.
