Which Style of 250cc Scooter Is More Comfortable? By carefulrider (Read 584 times)

Hi folks: on a long distance journey, from the standpoint of suspension, which of the following two scooters is more comfortable to ride?

The style similar to a Jonway yy250t (looks like a Reflex),



 or the style similar to a Lance Duke Touring 250/Roketa Bali MC-13 250, like this below:

 

I look forward to reading your replies & opinions.

Without knowing how the jonway rides,it appears the 2 are like 2 peas in a pod--the weight is probably about the same,so the suspension would be identical--my Roketa ,same as the jonway and other similar brands was a little rough on the rump after a hundred miles in a day,because the seat is not built like a big cruiser--now JR likes long trips and must have an iron butt but for me,the 250 cc scoots are for short to medium length trips..and it looks like the 2 scoots you refer to are about the same for long rides--imo--we could use some real research here --

Sorry I haven't driven either but they both look like comfy rides. Would be sweet if you could find each Model in good used condition For Sale and work out a week end test ride. Seller would probably want full sale price cash in hand and paper signed saying you scratch it, it's sold. I noticed MC sellers are real stern about no joyrides, as they put it.

If these Models are both by reputable manufacturers and have similar size, weight, balance and braking systems the difference should be minute, no? You could see how much replacement shock absorbers cost, find out if there is a glaring difference.

Dealerships would do well to have rentals, just like some people like to rent a car to see if it's the one they will buy. Good luck to you.

I generally love my Xpeed but it seems to fit somebody about 5'6". I get a tired back after about 50 miles.
