Ok, I've got several posts here already, perhaps I should intro myself. I'm a new, first time, scooter owner, have a Roketa MC-20-150, have almost no miles on it, maybe 35. But, I've also got a Kawasaki VN1500P, mean streak, big noisy V twin, and have put almost 70,000 miles on motorcycles in the past 10 years. I've also taught motorcycle maintenance and ran a couple motorcycle forums in the past. So have some experience  Bill H. |

Well so far I've had it on the road for maybe 30 miles and it's great, lots of fun, is fast and fun. I bought it very slightly used from Dave at Absolutely Scooters in Elgin, had 480 miles (770 km). Rain almost every day since I got it and in serious spring cleaning mode here so not much time to ride so far. Overall am very impressed with the little extra details of the Roketa. I wasn't prepared for how quick this thing is, was expecting it to be slow, it is only a 150cc afterall, but up to about 45 this thing rocks, easily beats traffic from stoplights. Fun to ride Bill H. |

Hello from Milwaukee, New here also, looking at several scooters to add to the cycle 'stable'. Have a 1978 - yeah 30 yrs old and STILL going strong. Bought new! Still riding it! Looking at the Roadrunner, Roketa and Linhai 300. Been riding since 1953 so i've seen many cycle brands come and go. Not afraid of China cycles as I do all my own mechanical work. Any thoughts from anyone appreciated. Paul (414Scootermon) |
