Scooters can be made to go very fast. Sportsbikes should be faster as thats what they are designed to do. 2 guys on r6s will have the same machine but different abilities as riders, likewise scooters. A scooter has a different purpose than a sportbike, like a truck has a different purpose than a car. Its not all about speed and power. Its about what it can do and where it can go. If your bike can go 130mph theres nothing stopping me buying one thats faster. Wheres the skill in that? Scooters are great at what they do and any biker who thinks otherwise needs to wise up. Its not a competition . Every video on you tube featuring scooters v bikes has comments saying 'the R6 will destroy the scooter' blah blah blah..... it Fucking SHOULD do. It should destroy other bikes too. Its designed for it. The point is ,dont underestimate the scooter or its Rider. It may BITE back and scare you
In my country, there is a road class where the sports bike and a scooter is almost at the same level, i live in a southeast asia country, so 150cc scooter and 150cc light sports bike are very common on the road, but as you know the 150cc sports bike of course has more power than a 150cc scooter, i have similar story like in this video but it is me 150cc scooter vs 150cc sports bike and i'm 100kg.. the sports bike rider is mich thinner, but i overtook him in a corner too, almost just like you till i scratch my lower deck and center stand..
I'm in the Philippines and I ride a Kawaski Dominar 400 cc, but I want a scooter next and I think Kymco is affordable and the quality is there. I know Kymco makes the engines for the BMW scooters and was partners with Honda for many years. So this bodes well.
I felt the same way when I was on the road to Eureka Springs a few years back. I was cruising at about 75mph on I-44 westbound. Sport bikes were passing me until I got a wild hair and decided no more. I brought the Silverwing up to about 90mph. It was stupid, and I wasted more gas than I needed to. I had to stop for gas just before an enforcement zone. When I got back on the freeway, I saw a multiple cops with a sport bikes as his customer. I was more than willing to behave myself from than on. If you feel you have to prove yourself, sign up for track days. The freeway isn't the place for track speeds.
i am a BMW C650GT rider, I support you! great overtakes bro! love you videos ! We are all on two wheels Stop hating each other! I'm talking to you "sportbike riders"!
@@federicof6768 and if really he drive a 125? Know how to drive and have a type of motorcycle, are different things. If I have 70 HP on my bike and you have 150, but I have skills, trust me, you can only eat my dust.
@@carlitto673 Verissimo, era solo una "provocazione" ai milioni di "non sa guidare" che leggevo, visto che molti la fanno facile ma l'r6 (secondo me) non è una moto che si impara a guidare in 2 minuti
It's a very common reaction from motorcyclists to assume such superiority. You see it all the time on the road too, when motorcyclists won't deign to lower themselves to nod acknowledgement to a fellow biker if they are riding a 50, 125, or a scooter. It's irrational. Just because another bikers machine may lack the cornering speed potential, or power & top speed of yours, doesn't mean that the rider themselves don't possess your skill & ability, or lacks your commitment to two wheels. If you own a Goldwing, & only use it a couple of months during the summer, even for foreign travel, - or if you are a sports bike rider, who only blats around at weekends only in dry weather, (however quick you might be) - then you are a far less committed biker than someone who owns a 50cc, but uses it every day for work & leisure in all weathers, & for country & city riding. I sold my Hayabusa to get an Enfield bullet fitted with a 8.5 bhp diesel engine, which has a cruising speed of 40 mph. That was 10 years ago. I still have the Enfield & I still haven't regretted the decision for a second. I get more acknowledgement from other bikers, car drivers, children, women, & old people than with any other bike I ever owned. Not being a challenge to anyone in performance (even against 125's) doesn't make me feel inferior even slightly.
@@hiyadroogs 250ccm rider here... i used to have bev250, went through adiatic coast, monte negro, albania, bosnia, and maybe 2, 3 motorcicle riders in total would wave their hand... like i don't exist... funny thing - i was behind gs1200 for around 100km, every single motorcycle wave to him, but noooo, fuck me on my bev250... yeah, i am a little bit angry...
I enjoy riding my scooter (t max dx) but I always hear about crashes and how unsafe bieks are.. I don't dare push the t max past the limit. I never plan on crashing and not doing any messing about to cause a crash will greatly reduce the odds. I ride the bike with one mentality. It can kill me or seriously injury me. No fucking about.
A wider tires helps in cornering, regardless of the tire radius. If anything, a smaller radius tire helps in agility even more than a standard 17 inches tire. Also, that's why we're at 17 inches; the gyroscopic effect of an old 21 inches tire of the past would hinder how fast you can countersteer, and the pretty low 14 inches tire that would scrape your foot pegs. 14 inches would fare well in cornering with wide tires. With proper length forks, a sportbike with 14 inch tire would corner well, the forks may gave out earlier
Great show man! Kymco seems like the best bang for your buck here in the U.S. I dont know why they keep sending us these 150 and 300cc scooters. People here drive like maniacs and are always ridin your a**! We need scooters that MOVE!
Haha i like ur video , i like the sound effects and music haha scooter is very good at what it does best , comfortable , relaxing , no gears changing , i love it , it is not designed to race super sport bikes , i am thinking of buying a scooter like urs. Love from Oman
Friend; You are an ace. If with the scooter you gave tremendous fight to the pedantic who was driving the R6. The AK 550 is a super machine. CONGRATULATIONS!!
They sould make a deal with...... Vladimir Putin to call the next generation of Kalasnikof, AK 550....it sounds fair to me.! Καλησπέρα φίλε Biketrips 😂😂. ( the R6 driver > 😨😧 )
Hahahahaha fantastic video. I was on bikes for years, and at the age of 57 they wouldn't give my license back. I have to start all over again. That t Max is amazing, and as a x biker , if i got my license again i would buy this amazing scooter. Eamon in ireland. 👍👍👍👍👍
You are amazingly good on those corners! And Brave too! No worries about animals running out in the road? Wow!....I wanna be like You when I grow up.....I"m only 63 😂
Mario Di Carlo man I raised all bikes with my scooter. The only bike that gives my scooter a problem is a liter bike. I know exactly what most of those motorcycles are capable of. 600s are fooling people. If you want to go fast get a liter bike. 1000 and over. I raised Harley streetglides. 750s , 1000s I also owned a Kawasaki ninja 1000, Honda goldwing f6b, r6, f6b And 4 scooters including burgman exec. And bmw650gt . Nothing will compare to the scooter especially if you swap the variator.
@@jojizzle78hahahaha you dont own notthing. Because if you own that vehicles you will know that you cant measure scooter with motorcycle especially r6. You dont know what you are talking about. My father is Yamaha official importer for Croatia more than 20 years. I am driveing motors all my life. Right now I own tracer 900, r6, t-max 530 (2016). I also drive it on race track Grobnik in Croatia every few months. T max is king of scooters there is no better scooter you can compare with it. But it can never compare it with motorcycle especially motorcycle like r6. This guy on video is amater, it seems this is his first ride. And that guy on kymco is also amater. Only difirence betvene theese two guys is that the scooter is easier to drive when you are amater.
jojizzle78 man, stfu. A 600 will keep up with a 1000 until it reaches its top end, in other word, A 600 will hit triple digits as quick as it will take you to cream your pants.
Yea until there are none then the bigger bikes just drive away! That’s why I ride a gsxs1000 goes good through curves and still has some good highway speed to it!
Experienced rider myself, years ago i couldnt keep up with a guy riding a 125 scooter on a very technical mountain road. I was with a cbf500, 5 times more powerful than the 11hp of the scooter. Is it because i couldnt ride? No, it was because i wasn't familiar with the road, there was dirt and rocks spread on the street due to landslides and so on. Self preservation and knowing when is smart to ride slower is not bad, allows you to survive to another ride.
He is obviously either incapable of going faster for some reason or just doesn't want to. Perhaps the speed limit you both destroy is one possible reason. Like 110-120 in 50 zone and than 140-160 in 90 zone. You are asking for trouble. I also ride a maxi scooter, but I try to do it safely.
929 motorcyclists disliked? I wanna see more scooter riders mixing with motorcyclists in a wholesome way its not a competition. And yes scooter riders can overtake a motorcyclist if they wanted to they have the power. At the end of the day its two wheels and a motor.

Owning an R6 doesn't mean one knows how to ride it...
Plus, the way he uses the brakes says a lot about his driving skills... 😉

Was looking for the scooter review come across your video thanks for letting me know how good is the scooter!
That was a pretty good lil run. I was impressed I have had piaggio and Honda. Loved both. But kymco price point hard to beat
Great video. I was fully emerced into it.... from my couch. We got him once.👍
That was fun. Good video :)
To me, it is not about just the bikes. But it is more about the Rider’s skill and how daring he/she rides the bike!

Motorcycle with small tire radius is usually not suited for high speed cornering but you really did a good job 👏👏👏👍👍👍
