Review scooter Peugeot SpeedFight-2, Yamaha Aerox

Future owners of these scooters are doomed to envious glances. First of all pedestrians, who, by their dream by any means to increase their rate of movement. And when you can easily traffic jam and show the owners of expensive cars, a scooter looks like your back, believe me, they too will not remain indifferent.
Looking at these two sports scooter, you realize that designers, developers do not pay money for nothing, they have worked well. For the first time demonstrated in the last, the 20th century, scooters and now do not lose their relevance and popularity, becoming more modern and attractive. Yamaha Aerox produced virtually no change in the European branch of the Japanese company since 1997. A renovated in 2000 Peugeot SpeedFight2 is a European bestseller.


When scooter layout in the appearance of both observed some similarity with the sportbike: bright colors, modern slanting headlights, air intakes and the many forms of cladding chopped scooters give an aggressive appearance. One can not remain indifferent, looking at the technical masterpiece of art - a console mount the front wheel from Peugeot. If you come to the right scooter, there is an impression that the wheel is hanging in the air. The quality of plastic parts and their docking performed on both scooters at the highest level. Multi-function ignition Yamaha - produced and steering lock, and control of the trunk under the seat lock - to open the trunk, just turn the key to the left. Open the trunk, both to compare and verify their good capacity: each of them easily placed a helmet.

SpeedFight2 wound up quickly and quietly pleasant voice, and after a few minutes of warming up, he was ready for the trip. Wasting no time, understood the principle of operation of controls and switches, lighting, and found that the ability to work Aerox more familiar and understandable. For example, the Peugeot turns off by a single button, and to beep you want to see where he is, and then later use. In general, do not worry I'm not found, you just get used to its location. Already after the first few minutes of driving a Peugeot says quite comfortable driver's seat, and even enough space for the legs. What, unfortunately, can not be said about the Yamaha. The driver of high growth is simply nowhere to put your knees and move away farther back will not give contoured seat. Very well conditioned passenger seat is a small layer of aesthetically pleasing issued penoplen hidden around the tank hatch, although it is fully functional, but not while riding long distances.

 When stopping at traffic lights revealed another feature of both scooters: the height of the saddle is high enough and the driver of average height have to reach their feet to the asphalt, but this disadvantage is also the advantage. High landing provides good visibility driving conditions over the roofs of cars. The combination of small width and short bases in two scooters can easily maneuver in constant urban stream of cars. Ground clearance is sufficient to comfortably drive curbs. Charms of both scooters work well. But at the same time, it should be noted that excessive sporty Aerox makes itself felt tough enough passage irregularities. Rigid aluminum frame combined with a telescopic fork and suspension Paioli upstand work out in detail the profile of the roadway, although allow for any confident cornering speeds. Charms SpeedFight periodically actively discussed among drivers scooter. Sometimes you can hear a scooter on the road is bad, or that he is not the same left and right turns. I think this story envious of those who did not go to a Peugeot. The designers did a great job! Lever front suspension works flawlessly, has a second you forget that this is not a telescope. At the same time much more comfortable SpeedFight carries his rider on rough sections of road. Incidentally, the width of the tire on both front and back of a scooter is different, which is not very practical, but convenient for handling. Emphasize the sporty Yamaha mounted front and rear Brembo disc brakes with braided hoses, providing an excellent scooter slow, even with a passenger while working on the brake handles are minimal. After the experiment, with the brakes on a Yamaha scooter to turn over to the French and wonder: for the same effort Peugeot just instantly stops! Repeat attempt, and there is a delay in which the rear wheel off the ground! There is merit and well-functioning front suspension. Yes ... I did not expect from a scooter, weighing 90 kilograms of such in moderation! Maneuvering on city boulevards, notice that the mirror on a scooter almost vibrate, but the viewing angle is clearly inadequate, and sometimes, for a quick rebuilding of a series in a row and an adequate assessment of road conditions have to turn my head.

 There is no single favorite, could not be detected due to the fact that none of the scooter has not shown clear advantages or disadvantages. This model of a class. Not SMOT the similarity of the aggregate base scooters and their area of practical application, they differ markedly from each other. Buyers Aerox sacrificing comfort are a little athletic performance sportbike. At the same time Peugeot is perfect for people who value comfort above all and buying SpeedFight get a stunning look, plus the unusual design solutions suspensions.
