Χαίρεται! Παρακολουθώ κόκκινα φεγγάρια! Ιδιοκτήτης Crypton Χ, innova κ Sonic.

Italy here, no one knows underbone / papi / papaki motorcycles. We are very snob. I am going to buy the only one imported, the Malaguti Spectre Gp. Here greenhorns start with 500/650 joked by the sellers who suggest not to loose money on a small bike. After they fall, and quit. But the real reason is that the motorcycle commuting is decreasing. To much bureaucracy, and youngster are not pressed to solve personal mobility issues, culture is changing. When I was young the job interviewer asked always if the applicant had a car or a driving license. Now our interns do not come to work if there are transport strikes.

In Greece mopeds are very popular, and many prefer them than a scooter. This is a moped on steroids, so in some cases it has its fans.

[@rickelcoyote]

Mopeds has pedals. You R wrong. On RAR/KTEO certificate is writen clear for everyone : "Motorcycle"🤷 Παπάκι power!✊

[@kajnatok]

Strutzo-camila :P Dar e fain rau ! GG pentru review - very nice as always !

[@rickelcoyote]

Cea mai buna din lume. Underbone sunt cele mai bune motociclete conform Discovery. Și mai mult de jumătate de glob au așa ceva. America Latina și toată Asia. Dacă erau proaste nu le cumpăra nici dreq! In Europa doar grecii au înțeles potențialul lor. La noi începătorii vor Busa... De aia nu exista cultură moto. Sau mă rog... e ceva-ceva...Cave Age. Vaaai, e o mare "rușine" să ai o moto mică ! 🤣 Vezi KZbin "Greatest ever Motorcycle no 1 Honda Cub"

[@forestforce2951]

It technically called underbone bikes (motorcycle body work but the fuel tank are underseat like scooter) however it commonly classified as moped in some asian country (Anyway there's racing event that race with this bike such as Cub prix and ARRC UB 150)

[@Ridth-one]

This are mopeds, very capable in highways, cruising at 100-120 easy... Top speed can goes to 160-170kmh with sprocket change, change the chain to o -ring type it will be much2 better, smoother ride & doesn't need to adjust the tension always. Very famous in malaysia and smoke those yamaha y15z or honda rs150 stocks any day any time. Here they release the vf3i pro or le with 19hp instead of the standard 17hp ones. Can check out bobyp channel, a youtuber from malaysia, he bought it the second time for long journeys. Ohya, subscribe to channel because of your very good english speaking capability, clear & can understand very well. Keep up the good content, hopeing you can review the kymco xtown 250-300i depends on ur country cc requirement..here only 250 cc available for that model rebrand with the name modenas elegan 250( latest 250ex euro 4 spec)

[@hoonnahhoon6356]

di negara kami juga ramai yang menggunakan motosikal ini. dan telah melalui beberapa generasi serta mempunyai versi yg tersendiri. salam dari Malaysia.

[@RideWithAlex]

I realize they are very popular in different parts of the world, but I still prefer the traditional big wheel scooter layout :)

[@rickelcoyote]

Respect Malaezia bikers. They are riding Underbone moto all time. Underbone- Kap Kai is a way of life.

[@Rook1ne]

This is underbone or UB bikes, very popular in south east asia

[@manoskalargyros8943]

It is also much more economical on gas and servicing than a scooter and as practical for commuting and filtering traffic.

[@RideWithAlex]

I still like the storage space of a scooter :)

[@rickelcoyote]

@@RideWithAlex Top case!🤷

[@rheyawaliyul3030]

Hr in the Philippines 🇵🇭 we call it underbone,🏍.

[@rickelcoyote]

They don' know! They didn't ever heard about Honda Cub. Is like they graduate college giving autographs without passing 1 and 2-nd primary school without knowing,how to write lines and curbes🤣🤣🤣.Most european bikers think that 600cc is a small bile and avoid them, trying to ride bigger than that.

[@pietervanbreda4360]

Well if a Vespa is classified as a scooter then this must to. Both rear brake on the right foot, Both have gears and clurch and no storage under the seat. The front shock do not go all the way up to the top of the steering.

[@RideWithAlex]

Technically this is classified as an "underbone"

[@hmoosawi]

Let's combined it & call it Smoter 😁

[@RideWithAlex]

😂😂😂😂

[@mmhekmati4101]

Here in Iran, people call it the Motor of the thieves!

[@bucharestbiketraffic]

Un NHT 200 e infinit mai bun.

[@RideWithAlex]

Poate ca da, poate ca mi, cine poate sa spună cu adevărat?

[@rickelcoyote]

In Grecia scuterele sunt numite olițe de toaletă ( și pt Google translate) din cauza poziției de ședere pe WC🤷. Scuterele sunt preferate de cei cu gleznuțe epilate și drapel multicolor care sunt... putin mai ...dosnici🤷

[@sstrohalm]

Salut. Aceste motoare se numesc underbone. Pe toate insulele grecești chiar și pe continent sunt faimoase. Eu am avut un Yamaha crypton x de 135cc. Sunt bestiale frate. Economice. Ușor de întreținut.... Doar că symul are ambreiaj.

[@RideWithAlex]

Am înțeles de la cei din Grecia ca asta ar fi modelul "sport" cu motorul de 18cai și cutia în 6 trepte și ambreiaj manual. Cele de 125 cu ambreiaj automat le au toți, asta ar fi cel "de viteza" :)) oricum amuzanta dracovenia, 18 cai pe 110-120kg prin oraș dacă deschizi gazul la maxim în a 2-a te surprinde cum trage.

[@sstrohalm]

@@RideWithAlex eu urmează să îmi iau un vf185 la vara. Dețin un xt660x dar imi este dor de stilul acela de motor și de consum. Este grup pe Facebook in care sunt toți deținătorii din Romania de asenea motoare.

[@RideWithAlex]

@@sstrohalm te așteptăm în showroom, din păcate nu le ținem pe stoc dar la comanda dacă sunt disponibile la partenerul grec în 2-3 săptămâni sosește.

[@rickelcoyote]

O precizare, cutiile de viteze la Underbone mai vechi, cele de 125 din Grecia si Asia sunt semi automate. VF 185 are cutie de viteze manuala.

[@dirkhuman760]

It's a Thai drag racing machine. 😂
