Hello everyone, thanks for taking a look. This is my 1st post on any forum and I thought I'd throw up some pics of of my Riva 125 and see what people thought.
- This is how I found her. Sun bleached chaulky pink, duct tape seat, busted mirrors, and a big hole in the exhaust.

With the stock exhaust on it did 63 mph with my (240 lbs) on board. After the exhaust it tops out at about 57 mph but I haven't rejetted the carb yet. It's kind of weird to me but I'm new to this whole thing. I lost top end but gained a ton of low end grunt. From a standing start she pulls much hard. I'm hoping to get the top end back with some rejetting. I use this scooter for two up rides and it will hold 50 mph up most hills even if I have a passanger. There doesn't seem to be any after market for this machine so I'm very limited to what I can do. I'm adding a top case w/ back rest for my girl and turning my attention to my 2001 Elite 50 SR.
