Royal Alloy TG300 WORLD'S FIRST REVIEW

[@BigJimFodder]

Its a nice machine and looks great. Doing 12000 miles a year in commuting alone though I'm sticking to my xmax 400. The lack of storage is a dealbreaker which is a shame.

[@MrCamohoj]

You two should be on TV, you're very funny at the same time informative. Nice scooter going to start saving my pennies( pounds)

[@motorsforthemasses]

Thank you, would love to be!

[@robmoto2846]

Informative and entertaining video guys! You answered a big question for me. I’m looking for a scooter with more of a sit down in feel to the seating position rather than what seems to be the more common on top of seating style so thanks for including that observation. I’m liking this scoot even more now. Here in the US we only get the 150cc version but I’m going to have to check one out. 👍

[@curlytheunacceptable.4298]

Not my bag but, that paintwork was nice and deep, aesthetically pleasing with the detailing and a small with a hint of summer dew and whiff of big cigarettes, cigars to me and you.

[@wobblybrother4552]

Brilliant informative vid and as far as I am concerned if its got two wheels and a engine it's a MOTORCYCLE !!! Ride and enjoy 👍

[@MrCamohoj]

You guys crack me up , terrific. 👍

[@willyrackham2957]

not a scooter fan but the styling and quality of this looks superb ......i have seen quite a few Royal alloys about so they a getting popular with older mods

[@Wussag]

Most people who ride scooters are just into scooters and aren't 'Mods', in much the same way that most people who ride bikes aren't 'Rockers'.

[@kevp6345]

Great video. Watched it several times before I bought My TG300. Great review and very honest

[@johnrichardson9367]

Great video guys , all the Best

[@pstanyer1]

Lovely neat little bike. No storage is such a shame, seems rather expensive but does have a depth of quality that is surprising.

[@gregbruns8442]

Hi guys, I watch a lot of motorcycle videos, but rarely subscribe to moto channels. You guys are great! You put on a good show and your production is simple but well done. Keep up the good work! Cool scooter too! Thanks for highlighting this one.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Thank you very much!

[@cloggsy1971]

Nice, but too expensive (unfortunately) 😩🤦🏻‍♂️

[@robedmunds7163]

The quality of finish is impressive. Great reviews of bikes I could actually afford to buy. It would be nice if you commented a bit while riding along.

[@davidmulhall.8711]

Never😂😂 laughed so much 'Suck' 🤣 it's American thing 😅 great guy's... thats why people watch ù both. Most of all honest, and great facts on this great looking Scooter 'Royal Alloy' great bit of vintage & old style brough to the modern year's 2023 we want a Scooter 2 look like it's from 60tees!! Keep up those grt videos.

[@babyshambler]

I have a series 2 Li, but would consider one of these for day to day travel I think. With a few modifications, obvs..

[@Tom-bi5ln]

Great review as always and very tempted to purchase one but my concern is Royal Alloy's history of failing Speedos. Some owner' have commented on having upto 2 or 3 replacements being required on previous models.

[@Bertybeansprout]

I was going to comment but I read the tag to keep comments respectful 😮

[@m12ttd]

I bought one in May 2020 and took it back inside 30 days! Cheaply made with copied parts and sold expensive! I expected a lot more for 5k!!!

[@michaelwong5356]

That duck bill front fender is bloody fugly.

[@hipad4544]

If it goes on sale in Japan, it will sell.

[@roorozco4517]

But regardless this is a beautiful looking scooter, keeping the vintage old school look. So for you purest in the UK and USA you can all grab your ancles for me ,coming from East Los Angeles California😆😉😎

[@philtucker1224]

I love the in house censorship dude ha ha!

[@MrBarrytommy]

😄Funny that platypus bit look-alike front end😄😄 ,but does it have a nasty sting these are strange days but your still making great videos guys 😎

[@MegaTrelleborg]

Gentlemen the RA it is splendid indeed pretty much fine. I wonder if could be to elevate the handlebar up to 1,10 Meters ?? I had several Lambrettas and now one Vespa old fashion PX150. Its handlebar height is 1, 10 meters. Very comfortable to ride on it. I found excellent the Lambrettas but their handlebar is lower. All the best and success with the Royal Alloy 300.

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

How does the rider see if the indicators are on, didn't see the dash repeater? I might be blind!

[@pmay222]

lovely looking scoot....i like the modern 4 stroke reliability... the left hand clutch - gear thing has always put me off trad scoots.... i do feel this is a bit overpriced...and the luggage space non existent.. i will stick with my burgman 200 for now.. .. .. (which has done 40 thou miles an still pulls and rides like new) ..

[@andrewsmyth1641]

What do you think to the saddle? Would you be able to sit further back with out the middle strap?

[@scooterkev6978]

Not a bargain at that price , but fantastic scoot which will have many enthusiasts smashing the piggy.

[@arca9e295]

I’m hoping that this comes to the USA if it hasn’t already

[@debuch73]

Too too too beautiful.... Oh dear I had one in 1975 Li150 with same same same contours and lines.... Exactly the same front fender. How do I get one in Kolkata India???

[@timwatts181]

Just watching this video, as you panned round the scoot and I saw the number plate, I thought...That's my scooter!! Just bought it, got a few more extras on it now. Do I get a mug as well?

[@throughmyeyes9940]

needs proper tires ALSO has way too many badges and the storage box plus front fender SHOULD be metal as well. That beak of a plastic stationary front fender is overly large and off putting .

[@decab8292]

Gentlemen I have to draw the line somewhere and scoters are it for me I’m afraid. Due to being a sizeable fellow 6’3” and somewhat on the heavy end a smidge over 20 stone this little light weight would struggle with me on it. I’ll stick with my 700 cc But thanks for sharing your thoughts and time.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Fair enough.

[@drdoolittle5724]

Perhaps try a SCOOTER next time!

[@rolandpotter479]

I'm 22 stone and have a lexmoto riviera 125cc it does not have any trouble moving my bulk about and has been on many trips round the country. London to Cannock and back no trouble.

[@decab8292]

Roland Potter What can I say to convince you that scoters are not my cup of tea? As you are entitled to have your point of view I too am entitled to my own opinion also. Have yourself a great weekend.

[@vforvienetta7303]

Deca B I've been in to bikes and scooters my whole life. My dad also and whilst I used to ride around on my Vespa he'd laugh and say he'd stick to his bikes( he's had cbr's, bonnevilles, tritons, thundercats) he also has a Vespa now and he concedes it's a totally different thing but enjoys it nonetheless. I get why you wouldn't like them though. When I get off my trail bike and on to the Vespa it's truly terrifying in comparison

[@Maddpunx]

I just can't justify 5k for a Chinese scooter, I'd be in at 3.5k

[@motorsforthemasses]

Peugeot Pulsion is a lot more...they are Chinese too. Hardly any scooters and small capacity bikes that are not chinese built, even the bigger brand bigger cc bikes are Chinese built now, KTM for starters.

[@Senatorlemonsouth]

In my experience you pay for a level of quality at 3.5k it wouldn't be nearly this good

[@Blackpanthersrevenge]

Theyre not chinese. Lol

[@Maddpunx]

@@Blackpanthersrevenge 😂 and a reply after 2 years 😂🥴

[@kevinmurtagh3434]

Please, suspension..... we need more in depth discussion, as a biker who has bought a new scooter.(s) I find the handling leaves a lot to be desired.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Smaller wheels, less travel the shocks are never going be as those on a bike. However the dampening in this is pretty absorbing and seems to work well. Especially when compared to the lighter engined 125's.

[@philtucker1224]

Much prefer the look of the GP as I prefer the slimmer front nose like my old TV200.

[@aidylyall883]

Great scooter. Very funny at the end, couldn't stop laughing...Are you American hahaha

[@thefantasyreview8709]

I'd prefer a Scomadi, but I have to admit, they have made a nice lambretta where Lambretta themselves didn't....

[@motorsforthemasses]

Which Scomadi? They are the same as RA with a different badge

[@nigelrobinson3077]

Add a geared version then its almost perfect.

[@MrSportster12]

I agree with Cloggsy, see below, too expensive - I got a brand new Kawasaki Z650 for the same price.

[@motorsforthemasses]

I understand that but anyone into scooters and wanting a modern scooter would not choose a Z650.

[@brianbrown4965]

i would find it very difficult to ride one after riding all the years on tv sx gp li from mid sixties to mid seventies . i would feeil that its not a Lambretta specialy without fly screen and mirrors etc. upswept megga made the sound and you will never get that on these . i used to blow smoke rings at trafic lights . deffo not for me

[@paulmorris3613]

What of security as they would be a prime target for being stolen?

[@melaniehoward9532]

Look at the wires on the front indicated no good you mist it ??😕

[@motorsforthemasses]

No. hence my sentence, "the style and finish of the front indicators are a bit hwuuuwuuuwwwhhhh"

[@1960ARC]

The price of a Vespa, even if it was cheaper, still go for Vespa. Nice scooter though.

[@Battleofnerves]

My only comment would be the sound of the thing, it sounds awful to me, you can’t beat that two stroke ‘pop’. I suppose you could fit a sports silencer though?

[@jimmielong2748]

Beautiful scooter the front fender is disgusting I don't know who's behind that but it ruins the look at that beautiful scooter

[@motorsforthemasses]

I understand that but as it is supposed to be a rep of the S2 Lambretta, you can see why.

[@jimmielong2748]

Hi Guys what would you have the GP or TG they both look great only TG gives you the too tone colour options ride safe take care merry Christmas

I would say TG rides better but GP looks better for me

[@leemarshall9501]

after buying one of these i wish i had not unlike most videos on here i am not making money from these for the money i expected more and better the fuel gauge works when it wants and the speedo is out these dealers won't inform you about things like this the dealer i bought mine from says they do not guarantee the clock/dash ??? on a brand new scooter its a joke take my advise and keep away from these

[@beycoll8275]

Kevin Talbet pulls off the "unless you suck" line. You need practice 😅

[@inkjob12]

you said based on the engine of the Vespa GTS 300...does this mean parts are interchangeable...serviceable at a Vespa dealer?

[@thefantasyreview8709]

its only the engine.

[@Senna-xi1gr]

You have 3 great scooters all with different issues in my eyes. Lambretta is best looking but only 200cc big, Vespa is well put together & cheap to look after but not as good looking as Royal or Lammy, Royal Alloy looks great & 300cc but not as well put together as a Vespa? Come on Lambretta get a 300cc engine fitted into your beautiful scooters please? 👍🇬🇧

[@wozza59]

I've been mulling over this vid since you first posted it. One thing I don't understand is that you seemed to really like the RA GP300. However, with the TG300 - which is basically the same machine, but just a styling exercise, I get mixed messages about the bike. Is it possible to explain a little bit more as to why please?

[@motorsforthemasses]

Really? I can't see how we were sending mixed messages to be honest. There were positives and negatives over the GP. Good as in lower seat so riding was more comfy for me but as Malc sits further back, the seat hump got in his way a little. The ride itself as good as the GP. The clock being all LCD was different, nicer but some bits were harder to read.

[@wozza59]

Motors for the Masses Gotcha- thank you for the update on your thoughts. I appreciate that.

[@tommyg7610]

Give Richard a call at Carnaby Scooters, he’ll tell you what’s behind the name “Tigara”!

[@hanwayglobal1222]

The TG is our flagship model. Tigara is a North American Inuit word meaning ‘point’, Grande means big or impressive, so the Tigara Grande is our big point! And the point is this - we made what we believe to be the best scooter in the business, our concept was in fact inspired by an iconic machine from 1960.

[@tommyg7610]

Hanway Global thanks guys👍 hopefully one will be mine soon.

[@tommyg7610]

By the way, why an Inuit translation?

[@GorgorothBergen-ns7il]

Good video as usual👌, On the other side price is absolutely too high. Brand has no history or appeal whatsoever, A mediocre mix of Vespa and Lambretta.

[@kenhampshire9917]

Farenheit, feet and inches and pound and ounces work for me. Metric is for innumerate foreigners who can only count in 10's.

Not just a cigarette, also a zebrafish and the thing they actually named it after, a tribe of North American Eskimos.

[@philipjackson3127]

For £500 extra you get a royal Enfield 650cc interceptor. Much as I love big scoots, silverwing, t max etc, this just too expensive and the engine is too small

[@motorsforthemasses]

With all respect, I never understand comments like this. Why would someone who is interested in a 300cc Lambretta style scooter choose a 650cc retro style motorbike just because the price is similar?

[@philipjackson3127]

@@motorsforthemasses I passed the comment as a comparison not a like for like, on a interceptor forum there is a member who is doing the reverse, getting shut of his interceptor for one of these. I was looking at the video to see what sort of job they'd done, not to see if I would like it. I was expecting £3k but not £5k hence the reason for my comments.

You are wrong. It has to be manual, this twist and go is not acceptable. The first manufacturer to introduce a manual will wipe the floor with the others.

LML produced a 200cc geared four stroke vespa style scooter and unfortunately they went bust.

[@All-Father-Odin-967]

@@wozza59 I still have my PX, and I will probably look at getting a reconditioned 200 engine. Better that than this plastic Lambretta copy. The first to introduce the manual, with the brake of the floor, gears you can use will own this market. I would even put money on one of them up front. Twist and go are fucking shit, what wanker in marketing came up with this shower of shit? Looks great but it's a plastic scooter for plastic scooterists.
