Scarabeo 125 sau Sportcity Cube 125

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

Am gasit informatii detaliate despre ambele modele si m-au pus pe ganduri. Sportcity Cube 125 e identic cu fratele mai mare Cube 300, doar ca nu e pe injectie ci are un carburator Keihin de 29, si dezvolta 15 cp, suficient cat sa te propulseze fara probleme cu 110 km/h. Are rotile mari de 16′ si e foarte manevrabil. Are suspensie reglabila pe spate in 4 pozitii si o sa lata si comfortabila.

Scarabeo pe de alta parte, e deja o legenda vie. Motorul de 125 cc e identic cu cel de la Sportcity, asa ca performantele sunt identice la ambele scutere. In Italia s-au vandut peste 750.000 de scutere Scarabeo de cand au inceput productia in urma cu aproape 20 de ani.

Scarabeo e pentru cei care poarta esarfa la gat in timp ce merg spre o terasa pe scuter, iar Sportcity e pentru cei care iubesc viteza mai mult decat orice.

Urmeaza sa cumpar una dintre aceste maxiscutere si sunt curios daca cineva detine astfel de modele, si ce impresii are despre ele.

Nu e exlusa nici varianta de Scarabeo 200 sau Sportcity Cube 300.
