Reader Ride. Sweet Lambretta

Braam Nell from Brazil sends in this sweet little Lambretta.

He Writes:
I know I know I’m not bring the classic racer heat that you normally show on the site but Scooters are bikes too and here is my 62 Lambretta Li 150 Brazil Spec , which I have been spending some time on the last Year or so..She’s my commute to work 2 or three times a week , so runs beautifully!

Keep up the amazing inspiration, oh and I’m holding you fully responsible if I buy a Triumph Scrambler in the next 2 months!!

Ha! Sorry, I can't help you with that Triumph. It's a mystery to me that I've held out this long.

The first of these in the UK i is the big-wheel Peugeot LXR125 scooter.
Big wheel scooters a offer superior handling over poorly maintained surfaces and are easier to manoeuvre.

With the crumblingly state of the UK's roads after the recent winter snow and ice, Peugeot seem to have released this on the UK market at just the right time!!

As always we've some pics of this new Peugeot scooter for you.

Ride safe

Yamaha Motor UK has announced the releases of revised X-Max scooter's for 2010. The X-MAX 250 and X_Max 125 have redesigned bodywork with one-piece construction of the front cowling, with a fixed instrument panel. The single-piece cowling allows for a larger, improved dashboard design. It comes fully equipped with red backlit analogue and digital instruments, which now include a large sports-style rev counter.

The 2010 models have a new shape of the new footboard position. A re-designed double seat conceals more than enough storage space to accommodate two full-face helmets. Up front there is an enlarged lockable glove compartment.

There is a completely new rigid frame, suspended on twin rear shocks – with 4 adjustable positions - and long-travel telescopic forks with 15inch front and 14inch rear tyres ans twin-piston 267mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes.
