Re: Can you tell me about the Aero 125?

Surprising the lack of mpg's on Ural... :surprise: I share you fascination, so much that I have vowed to sell my only motorcycle larger than 125cc's.... :wink: The thing you have to remember about Urals is that, for the most part, the engineering is still from the early 40's. The bike itself weighs...

Re: Can you tell me about the Aero 125?

Do you consider the Ural too cool to trade in, but too poorly built to trust as a daily driver ? Not at all. I've read that the pre-2006 models were a total crapshoot, but mine's a 2010. I've had it for a little over a year and logged about 7000 miles myself (~11k miles total on the bike) with nary...

Re: Can you tell me about the Aero 125?

Oh, I LOVE Kymco. And Genuine, and Sym, And Yamaha, and... well, you name it. My budget is the problem: sub $1000, and the closer to $500 the better! Hence the reason I'm looking at such old scoots. If I had my pick of the litter, I'd probably be rockin' an Sym HD 200 Evo or a Kymco People GT200i. B...

Re: Can you tell me about the Aero 125?

Ha, well, GA has it's fair share of heat, so that's definitely something to keep in mind, because I'd probably be WOT 85% of the time. I can't seriously consider any scoot less than 125cc. I have a fairly distant commute over open country roads, where the speed limit is 55 but everyone thinks it's 7...

Re: .....it's a flamin' Aero....

Hey man, what kind of MPG are you getting on your little hopped-up Aero? I've read that the 2 strokes are significantly lower than the 4 strokes.

Can you tell me about the Aero 125?

Hey guys! I know this isn't 50cc related, but I have no idea where else to check, and this forum was recommended. I've run across an old '84 Aero 125 that seems to be in decent shape and decently priced. I have no experience with scooters aside from a test ride on a Buddy 150, and none whatsoever wi...
