Nebulous123!
Thanks for the Link & Chart! I read David's Review, and from the time he did that, sounds like Genuine/PGO have addressed some of the problems, that Blur Owners have mentioned in several Posts/Forums I've read. I like a Company that will resolve problems as they come up!

way more aftermarket parts for the Zuma.
Don't get me wrong the blur is a great scoot. I love the handling n brakes. I think it needs MORE POWER!!!

The above posted specs don't give him either of the specs he asked for. I just measured mine at 72" long. I know the weight capacity 330lbs as it has been asked before.
A forum member wants to sell his modified seat which is 1" lower so that may be of interest to you if the stock seat is too high.
D & Chickdr!
Have/Do you two owned/own a Zuma 125? Just wondering if you have experience with the 155 Kit Mod you've both mentioned. I'm on the Zuma Forum, and have read about the BBK Upgrade, Rollers, Sliders, Variators, etc., and it's
WAYYYYY over my head. Seems like there isn't just one way to Mod the Zuma, as I'd have to tweek the Rollers/Sliders to get
MY Sweet-Spot on the Tranny. I'm a 250+ lb Rider, and don't want to overtax my Zuma
(maybe I already am????), with parts that May/May Not work for me, or cut short my Zuma's Life Expectancy.
If you two have had Zuma 125's, what are your Pro/Con Comparison's between the 125 and Blur 220i?
I
HAD..... been looking for a Honda Big Ruckus 250cc, but everytime I latch on to an Ad for one on the web, and make a Phone Call/Email, it's already Sold. So, I'm looking at a Happy Medium somewhere, and the Blur 220i sounds like an awesome Scooter.
I'll check out the Lowered Seat on here, and see what I can find out.
Thanks for the info and Stats! That does help a lot!

Agrogod!
Thanks to you too, for the Numbers! I think the 316 lbs, may be the Blur's Dry Weight, vice Weight Capacity.
ALL!
In my first post, I mentioned that I've had a few other Scooters in the past. Here are the ones I've had, in order:
-
TNG Verona 150 (
First Scooter, and Inexperienced Buyer, at the time! I did MORE Research on Future Scoot Purchases...)
-
Kymco People S-200 (Actually a 163cc Engine, vice the 200 I initially posted... Great Scooter, but I just had the Need-4-Speed, after owning it for a year...)
-
Kymco People S-250 (Just couldn't get comfortable on that Seat, even after I had it Modded a couple of times... Solid Performer, just had to stop too often to provide Increased Blood Flow to the Gluteus Maximus...)
-
Burgman 400 (I put 14K Miles on this one in two years of Touring, then had to take a Medical Break, and had to Cage it for the next two years. I sold it, thinking I wouldn't be able to ride again, but got back into Scootin' in Dec '11.)
-
Ruckus 50 (Not enough ooomph, to get me up some ouf our steep Hills in this area, and had too many problems with the Carb Fouling too often... I traded it for my Zuma 125 a year later...)
-
Zuma 125 (A GREAT little Scoot for around town, and easily manages our Hill Country Hills. No complaints at all, with this one!)
Having ridden my Barcolounger-Burgman the most, I'd have to say that now, getting back into Scootin', it'd be a bit too heavy for me to manage. I'll be staying in the 250cc'ish Range from now on, so I can keep Pegging-Out the Fun-Factor.
Cheers!
