Riding a scooter FOR THE FIRST TIME

[@heritagehillsecurity8778]

Needed a top speed run.

[@Knick732]

I own one and weigh 185.maxed out is about 58mph on a smooth straight road.

[@heritagehillsecurity8778]

@@Knick732 Thank you. Happy trails and best wishes.

I owned a 180 just like this in the early 90s. I live by the beach and everyone would make fun of me but i was always 1st on the beach. The back compartment held a towel, 6 pack and everything you needed. Over 65 mph holds smooth.

Nice job on the video, Kyle. Enjoy your perspective on this vintage scooter. Would love to see more than the instrument panel during the ride. Well done!

The title and thumbnail were kind of misleading because I thought it was going to be about letting a customer or friend take a test ride who had never been on a scooter before, but I'm not too mad because the Riva 125 is a respectable bike in its own right. Probably not the one I would buy because of its lack of underseat storage, but still looks really fun.

Nice job! I went out for a ride on my scoot today for the first time in a month. PennDot loves mixing little stones in with the road salt, so it’s kind of like riding on marbles, but it’s still good to get out on the road again!

Nice video.. Saturday here in Connecticut supposed to be in the lower 50s and mostly sunny so I'm taking my buddy 50 out for a nice long ride

[@steverandall5814]

Even though it's ancient, the styling on the Riva 125 still looks pretty good. Obviously, Yamaha was trying to compete head-to-head with the Honda Elite line.

[@bwc1976]

I grew up in the 80's, so I always liked the Elite style better than the retro Vespa style. Maybe 80's retro will make a comeback soon :)

I really like the Yamaha Riva 125, I actually own the first year model 1985. Kyle did fine, however I'd recommend using that rear brake.

[@blurainserendipity3537]

looking at these videos to help me know what to do and look for in riding a scooter/moped bc i bike to and from work ( 16 miles total 5 days a week ) and started saving money to get one of these

[@mcycleshawn]

Great weather for scootin!!

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

Awesome video so awesome personality and professional well spoke like a professional KZbinr

[@terrywonn2047]

Nice ride video. Nice old school bike.

[@cav3man360]

Not bad just need more visual than instrument cluster...I like the look of 80s scoots and I dig the foot brake alot I would love to have it on my scooter

[@leonardlaing6733]

Nice ole scooter. Informative video.

[@mikegreen5502]

Those Yamaha Rivas are fast asffffff

[@bobloblaw204]

Ride videos are cool. Thanks guys.. 06 BWs50 here.

[@vine1313]

You did better than I would have done doing a ride video.

[@geraldscott4302]

I would toss that windshield ASAP. I can't imaging having to ride behind that huge hunk of plastic that you can barely see through. My 2015 Lance Cali Classic zips right up to 55 mph real quick, and I have hit 62 GPS on a flat level road. I do love the look of that scooter though (without the plastic barn door on the front)

[@jered2177]

Cool old scoot

[@workhard6445]

Where can you get parts for this Yamaha riva or like what other models interchange with each other thanks

[@automaticslim3884]

Hey Aaron, love your videos man! Quick question, what do you think the best Taiwanese or Chinese 150cc scooter is the best scooter I can buy? I’m kind of on a budget and would like to get a 150 for no more that 2000-2500$

[@ryanodonnell938]

How deep is your glove box Kyle???😅

[@albertstabelli5869]

The camera was looking at the instrument panel during the ride. Other than that, good video. 👍

[@thegooniverse495]

Will the zuma 125 motor bolt into a zuma 50?

[@cottonhiker]

That thing is COOL man! Nice job on the video! 🙏🛵

[@aTheSmith2025]

Boa noite amigo... Uma scooter que eu nunca mais vi foi... Uma " Sanyang passing " ano 1999. Queria que você conseguisse uma para fazer um vídeo mostrando ela... Para matar minha saudade 🥺. Sou louco por uma e Scooter "Sanyang passing". Um dia quem sabe se eu não compro uma. Para realizar meu sonho 🙌 🤝

[@dionmoore879]

Not bad for a freshman Effort. if any critique just loose the words definitely and kinda. Other than that, rock on. Also, I heard that Riva parts were made of Unobtanium Have you found that to be true?

[@Knick732]

ebay has everything. except for carbs are impossible to find. but i retrofitted a chinese carb and it runs like a top.
