Wanted a bike with years but 1 wife, 2 mortgages and 3 kids have slowed the process somewhat.

Finally got on the road, so to speak, with a Vespa. Can drive it on my car license so it'll have to do for the moment.

In process of obtaining theory test. How much will IBT cost roughly?

Wonda-Boy · 11-09-2019 2:33pm

IBT costs vary wildy depending on who you choose which is terrible. The information you get and the tester vary aswell, some instructors are better then others. It should cost the one price regardless but thats not the case. It will cost less if you do it with another rider but you will not get the 1-1 session that you might need as both of you will be doing it at the same time.

Price wise it should cost 400-500 euro I certainly would not be paying more then €500...shop around and get 2 quotes.

unattendedbag · 11-09-2019 2:43pm

Shop around. I got it for about 350 over 2 days for category A. 8 hours each day.

Give roadtraining.ie a look it’s jointly run by Boards.ie motorbikes moderator LookBehindYou (Mick Finlay) and another gentleman by the name of Mick Smyth. The level of tuition is 11/10 (yes eleven out of ten) it’s that good. Many boardsies can attest to it also if you search the site you will see much of the same.

I wish I’d seen them before I booked. Great price for 1:1. I paid 550 for group training.

You can always give them a shout for your test. 550, was that on a Category A bike? You'd have saved yourself a handy few bob with the group training with Mick and even with the 1:1 you'd still have saved enough for a few rock shandy's.

Picked this up earlier this week. After visiting my family earlier this year and borrowing a bike to go for a spin with my brother, I decided I would go back to a proper bike after my X-Max died. That time arrived a few weeks ago.

Have to say, am loving it. Great for commuting, and nice to lean into the bends if I take it down the back roads. Doesn't have loads of power, but enough to put a smile on my face.

Pretty much stock atm, but will add a few bits to it over the coming months.

Yup. Supposedly a few improvements over the previous model, although I never rode it to compare.

They're a great bike.

A mate rode his through Europe and down into Africa into the Sahara without a single glitch.

Best of luck with it, I've often been tempted to pull the trigger on one too.

As far as I know, it's just under 200kg wet, 83cm seat height. I'm 6'2" and it feels a good size.

H_Lime · 14-09-2019 10:49pm

Id go another 50 odd kg;)
Nice bus!

Very nice indeed. Had a short spin on one before and was surprised how torquey they were, esp off the bottom end. Has she a pc3 or flah job done? Any plans?

Stock apart from the Scorpion end cans (quieter than I expected!) and the tail tidy

Wish they hadn't bothered with the latter as the water spray goes everywhere in the rain. Might see if I can convert it back to stock and sell the bits!

Also the aftermarket LED indicators are absolute shyte!

Closer to stock if anything

Have Givi case brackets, just need a top plate (€45) and oddly the brackets rely on the stock grab handle to secure on to, have that on order from eBay €34 delivered

Not happy with the moisture distribution of the tail tidy so I'm looking out for stock rear undertray and fender and should be able to make a profit selling the trick looking Ermax bits.

Probably get rid of the shyte aftermarket LED indicators, maybe add some LED spots, a power socket, voltmeter maybe? Gear indicator is pretty much redundant on a bike like this, the gearbox is "select-a-rev" but it makes no difference really because you have shove available at any rev in any gear.

Wonda-Boy · 24-09-2019 12:06pm

(not sure whats up with flickr, but will not post hi res pics. So stuck with low res for now!)

Finally got my new can, after much research and deliberation there was only that really stood out for build quality and sound... WINGS Exhaust.
Tbh its far too loud for me without the baffle in, but just right with the small one.

Overall I am very very happy with it, it was pricey but well worth the money and really suits the bike in the black with the carbon tip and heat shield and black bracket.

Hot are they restricted like the tl range in the first couple gears? A timing retard eliminator lets the whole whallop loose:)

Wonda, sweet can, they've a good rep wings. Did it make any diff in power?

Claimed 8-10hp increase but the weight saving off 4kg is very good. I would not have the skills to see the bhp increase bike is scary enough when you open it up tbh. But I am glad of the weight saving especially after sticking on the crash bars...they are heavy!

As an owner of some tall bikes the crash bars were always something i was happy i fitted as inevitably the ground wasnt where my foot thought it was a couple times.

If you told me that had 2000 miles up I'd believe you, looks new. Great machine.
