The Runner really is a fantastic bike; Sadly for old fans of the two stroke Runner the new bike is just a bit soft. It’s like the new BMW 3 series models. Each new model is bigger, heavier and even…
So what we have is a good all around machine that is easy to ride, handles well with a good, peppy engine and smooth transmission. It is let down somewhat by the poor braking, and not much else.
I woke up screaming, in a cold sweat, sheets knotted around me; then I realised today was the day I was going to ride the “big boy” the Suzuki Burgman 650
This story caught my eye today... It could be the cheapest touring ever achieved? Basically a gentleman decided to ride his Honda Today 50cc 4 stroke scooter fully laden with touring kit... tent, sleeping bags etc 1400 odd kilometres from Portugal to Spain and back over 6 days. He says "One of the purposes of this adventure was, besides all the great fun in it, demonstrating that one can have a good life with little money."
I have to say this goal was achieved with a total fuel spend of approximately bugger all (35 euros). I don't know if I would be able to handle touring on a 50cc scooter but it looks like he had a bucketful of fun. See the video HERE.

You asked and we listened. Coming soon we will have a completely searchable review database so you can compare makes/models, search based on many different criteria e.g. engine size, manufacturer etc.
Now if you google “Monza”, the first result returned is a Wikipedia reference to a town to the north of Milan, this town surprisingly enough is called Monza and is famous for basically only one thing…The Autodromo Natzionale Monza, or as we know it the racetrack that hosts the Italian Grand Prix. Now I can only assume that when VMoto named the Monza it was so there was a name association that was both sporty and Italian. The downside to this name association game is that were you to actually ride the VMoto Monza around Monza’s Grand Prix circuit the lap would take you approximately 9.6 minutes assuming you didn’t have to brake… this is in comparison to a modern F1 car which will do this very same lap in 1minute 21 seconds. In other words in a race the F1 car would overtake the VMoto approximately 8 times each lap… not really surprising but interesting none the less.
