Gone 4Strokin!!!

With everyone getting new bikes being all the latest rage, I just couldn't help myself :P

I am now the owner of my VERY own FIRST Four-stroke scooter!

It is a Strada eurojet rx150i with clear Texas title, in running condition w/ near 8000 miles and a few laydown scratches, features a 150cc high compression variant gy6, digital gauges with fancy features, larger carb stock, sleak sporty body lines and some tasty tails stock, so far doing bout 56mph and in need of some good maintenance. Totally can't complain for the price ;)

This deal came out of fat Texas air and I was not expecting it at all, but after seeing the bike and almost halfing the original $600 asking price it was a no brainer :twisted:

I know I know.. what can I say, I'm a scooter * :lol:

Check it out dwarfing my black S

Grats! The thing looks like it should transform into a robot.

My friend mark just traded his 07 Metropolitan for one of those. Different make, but same body style and motor.

I took it for a few rides now. I can push 60 on it no problem. My friend mark is a real skinny little dude. He gets on it and he can fly up to like 65mph. Its an awesome bike for sure. Really kicks the * of all my bikes (speed wise) and the looks are amazing.
Only downside about it IMO is legally its a motorcycle.

I love the bike. I really love that my friend has one now. Now i have a reason to tune up my elite once again, Now i got computation. :D

Nice find. I see it appears to be Bluetooth equipped, similar to my buddy's Wildfire.

Which engine exactly is this GY6 I hear alot about? How similar is it to my Elite 80?

Not very similar, the elite80 has a vertical variant and smaller everything. The gy6 is horizontal layout and this one has a high compression piston and a different head I believe
