It doesn’t matter how rare the fault is, or how well the car runs most of the time, eventually something can go wrong – and when it does, you often find yourself having to hand over plenty of cash to get it repaired. <a href="http://www.repairservicemanuals.com/Suzuki/" rel="nofollow"> Suzuki Service Manual</a> Any motorist will know that, no matter how much money you pay for a car, how new or old it is, there will always be something that can go wrong.

]]> Comment on Vespa LX 150 by Eric http://motor-scooters-review.com/?p=18&cpage=1#comment-4 Eric Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:14:57 +0000 http://motor-scooters-review.com/?p=18#comment-4 I have an LX150 with more hp thanks to a 190cc cylinder kit plus performance variator and exhaust. It's not quite a perfect highway scooter, though capable of common freeway speeds (will cruise at 65-70 actual mph; top speed of over 80 depending on conditions). It does great on 2-lane highways, but is still a little small and underpowered for frequent freeway travel. The 11" and 10" wheels are fairly stable (more so if you get better tires than stock), but you'll be riding at full throttle or close to it most of the time. A stock 200cc scooter is about the smallest for that type of riding. That said, I love my LX. I have about 19K on the odometer and recently rode it on a 1000+ mile trip up the California coast. For in-city commuting, there's nothing better! Regarding price, Vespa has a $500 off promotion running through August '09 and new scooters bought this year qualify for a federal tax deduction. Definitely the best deal you'll ever get on a new LX or Vespa S (slightly less expensive LX with different styling). The even less expensive Piaggio Fly 150 has the same engine and components, but with a tubular frame and plastic body panels.
