Finally made it back to Samui from UK hols .. FIRST TASK

- Grab the GP350 MT keys off ‘Al’.
This New Scooter has done 460 running in miles so far and is as factory supplied . ( seat swap only )

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - After 2 hrs of riding.

# front shocks need winding down to 5mm thread. Thats a given right .

# Definitely needs our VCR kit to bring down the ride height. I’m so used to the lowered scooters of our fleet and the ride confidence that brings - I found it a touch difficult to maneuver at low speed, parking, reverse paddling out of a space etc..

# The affectionately named noodle soup hook 🪝 🍜 still works great on this model 😆.

# The accelerator nut adjustment on this one is wound right up, The initial take off on twist is very responsive. I’ll wind that back a touch ( it’s a personal thing - I like 1/4 inch of twist before scooter moves away.

# The initial general ride and feel of this scooter is very good, Comparable to my beloved GPMT300.
I do know there is mixed reports on facebook groups of some of these scooters stuttering, stalling on tick over, underwhelming acceleration and power delivery. ( Dealers have a straight forward fix for this on first service I’m told )

Our scooter has had this dealer RA ECU reflash upgrade done at factory prior to delivery.
It definitely ran smoothly through the rev and speed range . It was a pleasure to ride and absolutely fine.

We haven’t done 600 miles -oil change and first service yet so I didn’t push it past 50 mph. But it felt peppy and I got the impression that there was more horses to unleash if I pushed it .
I dropped it off to Shep today - He will finish the running in exercise -first service- oil change-check it over etc etc… Then in his words

“ Ring its bloody neck”

Sheps got the GP300SE spec model. It will be interesting to hear his feedback on the acceleration-rev limiter -72 mph barrier that several owners have posted in groups about.
I’ve just got back from Shep’s and had a blast on my beautifully smooth GP 300 MT .
We all now know that these new +5 euro spec regs do introduce an element of restriction into these scooters and there isn’t much a manufacturer can do about this if they want to pass homologation regulations.
But to me this new MT 350 feels like it has more pep in it than the 300 I just stepped off of.
More to come on this followers .

anyone moans - my staff picked more of these things up today aswell .

This was Scootering Stan’s write up in Augusts Scootering magazine
following our China EV visit and investigations-It’s enlightening people .
A Note for Stan and Alex dHonk scooters Melbourne Australia..
Yesterday morning’s test rides were carried out on an Airfield runway strip!
VERY SMART right …!!!
“Bat s**t crazy mode” aptly named by Alex - is still exactly as described . Why they even have it is beyond me ?!
However I am assured that the regenerative breaking system is now refined and turned up !!!
This I feel is a very good thing …

The difficult job for Lukas distribution is assessing the market potential in UK. Full spec information will follow :
# Constructive feedback will be needed from followers and supporters of the brand .. stay tuned

China Press launch day EV .. This will be big in Asia .. Can’t wait to get our hands on one again ..

Newsflash from China today - it’s coming fast and very hot .. stay tuned

# Proof # The POWER of RA Facebook groups really works !!!

A not altogether complimentary 3rd party video & set of comments started circulating yesterday. Disappointing to see . But everyone is allowed to have an informed opinion .
This did encourage some owners to PM last night to ask actual details about our RK 70 exhaust.
I pointed them to the numerous independent ACTUAL rider reviews. ASWELL as Waynes own review on his recently fitted RK 70 exhaust .
💥 BOOM 💥 4 more reservation orders received for list 2 - making it 36.
# With the 73 already ordered on list 1 and due to be despatched imminently.
I’m looking forward to reading many more reviews in the near future.
Anyone wishing to actually research the concept and development testing of this ACTIVE EXHAUST OUTPUT ..
