| Review: I just purchased my first scooter a few days after
thanksgiving...I wanted more power than a 50cc
because I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and
wanted to make sure the scooter could deal with
all the hills without pooping out...I almost
bought a Genuine Buddy 150cc...but, decided on the
Yamaha Zuma 125cc because it just felt more
substantial under me than the Buddy...plus, I
really liked the styling...it kinda looks like a
scooter mated with a Dune buggy! So, far it's been
amazing. Plenty of power off the line at stops...I
can totally accelerate even with cars. It handles
beautifully and feels really solid! I love this
scooter. |
| Features: I like the dual headlights, the guards in front of the handgrips (helps protect my hands from the wind and elements), comfortable seating position, responsive steering and braking...lots of get up and go! |
| Improvements: My only niggle is that when you open the seat to use the storage, the seat feels a little flimsily (if that's a word) attached...I've had no problems with it....but, it doesn't feel quite as solid as the rest of the scooter.. |

| Review: Lots of power for my in-town riding. The front
disc brake and dual rear shocks makes all the
difference in the world for a 220 pound plus guy.
With just 300 plus miles on the ODO, I'm still
learning to appreciate it. It's my vehicle of
choice over my Ruckus and Super Glide for my
everyday rides. |
| Features: Peppy engine, Dual rear shocks, Front disc brake, Good fuel economy, Good looks. |
| Improvements: Clean up the rear fender for ease of cleaning. Offer bigger rear luggage rack than the one offered to date. Would like to see both headlights burning like on the Ruckus. |

| Review: Great bike (scooter) |
| Features: Power in traffic |
| Improvements: Hook below speedo, there's a screw there anyway.
Luggage rack. They want $131.00 just to send you another sissy bar with a couple of dollars of tubing wielded on. |

| Review: great take off from a red light..love the great
gas mileage..it's a good looking machine |
| Features: love the big seat ..good storage under the seat |
| Improvements: the monye they want for a glorified cup holder ..the call it a basket $37 and the rear cargo rack at $120..is brutal..they make a back luggage rack for it..but don't offer a luggage box to fit it..but I found one for it called Coocase..look at it from Twistedthrottle.com..it's a bit fancy for a scooter..but its all i can find..so I bought it at $249..also found a light kit that will make both lighs come on at the same time for more visability at ZUMALIGHTS.com |
