Hello everyone,
First off i am new to the boards and new to scooters.
I just bought a 2008 Wildfire whf 150 se R8 at a really good price <$250 with 1500 miles on it. It starts right up and runs what seems to be fine and doesnt seem to have any major issues that i am aware of right now. Get the tags and inspection this weekend so can run it alittle more after i have them.
Main thing i am wondering is has anyone had any experience with this scooter.? good ... bad.
From what i am told everything is stock on it .... guy ran it first summer he bought it then left it sit in garage.
I did figure out it has a 157qmj engine on it. any known issues with them?
secondly i would like to drive it daily to work and back .... 20 mile one way .... 45MPH highest posted speed limit on route. Would this 150 be able to handle this trip. i am not a small person .... 5 6" 240lbs
and lastly has anyone messed with big bore kits for this one or performance parts ....
I am a slight grease monkey so .....
thanks,
DrZ
