@@ewanmcgovern Hi, the mirrors themselves are just the stock ones. I added mirror extenders to improve the rear view, just search eBay for 10mm mirror extenders Yamaha fitting, lots of sellers doing them. The PCX is a great scooter but I prefer the Aprilia, it’s a higher riding position and it handles beautifully. Thanks for watching the video, all the best.

@@ewanmcgovern Hi, had a PCX myself in the past and it was a great scooter. Whether the Aprilia will last 47000 miles remains to be seen but in terms of handling I prefer it to the PCX. In terms of accessories it’s worth keeping an eye on AliExpress as this seems to be where new things appear, there isn’t much available in terms of “official” accessories.

Accidentally deleted my comment when trying to edit it, whoops! Was going to ask why you didn't get a 125 license, but then I reached the part of the video where you mentioned the bus pass. For anybody else on a CBT, you can take your license on your 125 if you don't fancy a bigger bike (and paying lots of money for lessons/renting a bike for the test). You still need to pay insurance, but your current provider can normally provide that for a small fee. Works out slightly more than renewing the CBT, but you only need the license once. I'm thinking of doing that next year when mine expires. Also if you've got lots of cash you can get some pretty nippy electrics on a 125 license, like a Zero S.

What if you had failed? You should do the test. Less money in the long run and I bet the insurance is cheaper afterwards.

Hello! Nice video although I miss one topic (which I always miss with the SR GT reviews BTW :P), which is the scooter's weather protection. I often use my 2018 PCX at low degrees (2-3 Celsius), and I'm sorry to say it doesn't have great protection. Those cuttings in the plastics are looking good, but they drive all the wind to one's groin and ankles. :( I would be very interested in the Aprilia's wind protection, especially it has those little "winglets" on the fairing. Upper body protection would be also interesting with a higher windscreen as well (I mean how much air can escape between the screen and the fairing next to the dashboard). Would you mind to tell me a few words about weather protection? :)
@scottishzoomer6 күн бұрын
Hi, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for your question. Like you I use my bike all year round and in Scotland that can often mean wind, rain and cold. I previously owned a PCX myself and although it was a great scooter, I prefer the SR GT in every respect. I would say the weather protection is better overall although no scooter is perfect. You can get larger screens for increased cover but personally I’ve never been a fan of large screens so haven’t bothered with that. To be honest I tend to rely more on clothing for protection than the bike itself but the SR GT does a decent job of helping out.

I'm especially glad that you owned a PCX and could give me some perspective, it was very reassuring. :) Yeah, the PCX is nice but I need something more in some respects so now I'm gathering infos about the SR GT 200 and the Nmax 155. Any info that can help me to decide is appreciated. :D

Thanks for all the SR GT content. A friend of mine told me not to use shock covers. He said he once used it on his Yamaha or something and the friction between the cover material and the springs stripped the paint off on some sections, which subsequently got rusted. On the other hand, your springs look fine. Maybe I should use them after all, I don't know.

Hi, I don’t actually own the Zoomer any more so a bit out of the loop with regard to suppliers. I got my front shocks from a UK company that refurbished Zoomers as surf board carrying bikes, but their website seems down now. You could try Webike in Japan. Uprated front shocks, in my opinion, improve the ride more than uprating the rear.

I thought you were in Spain when I saw that blue sky - until I heard the Arctic wind blast! 🥶 The Aprilia's holding up really well especially considering the harsh conditions. My Gilera is over 12 years old now and is still looking good so you should get a few more seasons out of yours yet! Before each winter I take a small paint brush and apply ACF50 to the bottom yoke and also to the tops of the fork tubes where they enter the yoke and this has prevented any corrosion. Brake pipe banjos and bleed nipples also benefit from this treatment. I don't know if there's one available for the Aprilia, but I fitted a stainless Leo Vince exhaust and it makes winter cleaning so much easier. Roll on summer! 🏴
@scottishzoomer2 ай бұрын
😄😄 Spain…I wish. Thanks for the ACF50 tip, I have some of that and sprayed it over the engine area when I last had the seat bucket out, but using a paintbrush to do smaller areas is a great idea I will certainly pinch. I think there is an aftermarket Leo Vince exhaust but a few who have installed it don’t like the amount of noise it makes. I’m not a fan of loud exhausts myself so I think I’ll stick to the stock one for now, it seems to be holding up really well. Thanks again 👍

currently just went through my 6k myself in just under 18 months (been on some rather long rides 150 miles of so) and had no real problems except the rollers and sliders got chaneged today on the 3rd serevice, and before that i needed to change the rear tyre for something with a bit harder rubber as within 4000 miles (the rubber was nearly smooth on the rear wheel) so i would suggest something like Bridgestone Battlax SC tyres as decent replacement tyres.
