Thank you, they are cute.

Oh yah, it’s a rear mean machine

t sambar I believe the mirror is original spec for these, I guess it’s because with narrow handlebars you need the mirror as far out as possible to have any rear view.

@@irishflyer6377 It's a stock mirror and I want to change it to something cool. But I can't find a mirror that can be folded.

Sometimes ridiculous is fun

Yes, only about 35kg. With a folding frame and little wheels they are harder to rider than a proper bike but stupid good fun. Totally legal on the road but you need to be nuts.

@@irishflyer6377 Interesting. What do you use your Africa Twin for? Touring?

@@GavCritchley General road riding, touring or when carrying a pillion. I also do some of the easy dry lanes but the 225 and 400 are better for these.

@@irishflyer6377 DCT? I've been looking at Teneres. Good, but no second hand market yet and there is an acknowledged problem with the exhaust mounting. Africa Twins were my next port of call.

@@GavCritchley yes DCT. I thing the T7 is a bit more off road than the AT but both are a bit big for our lanes. Happy to meet up at Newlands some weekend if you want to see the AT

I think they’re really an alternative to walking not an alternative to a motorbike and handling is marginal at best. But they’re fun

The official site still lists lots of parts here www.diblasi-shop.com/en/c/spareparts/di-blasi-scooter-r7/spare-parts-r7e-1997-today?sort=position-asc&page=15

It’s able to do nearly 30 miles an hour but you would not want to do more than 20. As I’ve said another comments it’s a good alternative to walking not an alternative to a full motorbike. However it is fun.

With Tiny wheels and a loose folding frame this is hard enough to ride anytime so good luck when you're hammered.

@@irishflyer6377 Cheers 🍻

There's on down the road from me ... testing the water at £600... ....oh that was a joke regarding getting drunk... that what me bicycle is for.

You can't afford it, you just lost your job,

Think of it as an alternative to walking not to a full motorcycle. With small wheels and a simple folding frame it stability is very basic and you really wouldn't want to go over about 30MPH (45KPH) which the little 50cc is able to do. In many European countries there are lesser regulations below 50cc, some case you don't even need a Motorcycle Licence. It is however great fun and even 30mph sure beats walking.

@@irishflyer6377 sure all that, but, id like one as the practicality of using it to collect and drop of vehicles would be really good. But i have mopeds, they get about but 30mph is just dangerous on most of the roads near me, at 50mph you have a chance of keeping up with traffic safely

@@missionDan If your on faster roads then I don't thing this is a good option, it's great in cities and towns but not open roads at 50MPH, I think it would be unsafe, even if you upgraded the engine. I know Honda made a different style folding scooter that might be more stable but I've never tried one.

@@irishflyer6377 yeah they did a motocompo but import only combined with rarity they are stupid money 2500+

In my view fun but to you junk, that's OK. I fully agree it not a practical bike but I own and ride 6 Motorcycles at the moment, the biggest is an Africa Twin and the oldest is from 1969. All are very different and to me all fun in their own way.

@@irishflyer6377 Sorry to offend but it just doesn't seem like it has enough power. If it works for you then that's all that matters.

@@MiceliCreations Thank you, no offence taken. It's a fold up alternative to walking not intended to compete with a real motorbike. ideal in the back of an aircraft or on a boat. Ride safe and enjoy.

@@MiceliCreations it's a scooter, not a motorbike

@@crazyyoutubeuser2471 Scooters are fast, this is a mini bike
