If you were doing a lot of motorway riding would riding it at motorway speeds prematurely year the engine?

But if riding at near to top speed won't that be thrashing the engine?

All the modern engines are computer managed and never put out full whack. Even on full throttle and hitting the limiter you are no where near thrashing an engine like you used to be able to do.

Grey suit with skinny trousers is the correct attire.

Im juiced up on getting a vespa so im gonna go look at them tomorrow, ive been offered a straight swap on a brand new gts300 for my burger but thats not really a great deal as my 08 burger is worth a fair bit more than.

Do you prefer

GTV300 (special edition)

or GTS300 Super Standard

It is a grand more for the gtv but that is a pretty sweet paint job!!
