Piaggio Typhoon 50

Brand new 2018 piaggio Typhoon 50 floods if I sneeze and accidentally turn the throttle more than a third, that is of course if I can even get it to start.

I can forget taking off again if I come to a complete stop I may as well park when I see a red light and read a book for half an hour until it kicks over again.

I had issues straight off the lot but was told a "running in" period was required (1000km) which I understand but I also understand that, in order to run it in, it would need to be running.

i have hade got the new typhoon 50cc 2012 modle iv only had it a mounth but feels great when your riding it and the seat is one of the most comfortablest around. i would recomend getting it deristricted when you feel comfortable on it as the speed could dowith some more but even when i get my car il keep it because its great in all wether rain and sun. great first bike :).

2003, piaggio typhoon 50.

i made a review on december 26th too.

ive sold my typhoon now after 6000km of riding it. now have an rd125lc :)

the typhoon is a good moped. it is reliable, good value for money, and quite quick.

my particular typhoon ran up to around 55mph, (indicated speed) should be a genuine 50mph. I managed 70mph flat out, down a hill.

I had a sports exhaust, not the best but better than standard. I also had the spacer taken out of the variator, also an iridium spark plug, ngk(br9eix). these modifications helped increase speed.

if your typhoon tops out at around 40-45, you might have a variator restriction. the iridium plug also ads a genuine 5mph top speed, plus more acceleration.

make sure you dont snap the accelerator cable because there very hard to refit.

only bad points of this ped are, the looks, as they havent changed in the 17 years they have been running. also theknowbbly tyres aren't great in wet weather riding.

I have had my Typhoon since early 2003, in 2005 I had to stop driving it and it has sat in a garage for four years and it still look brand new, And it past an M.O.T first time. Great bike recommend to anyone.

ive only had my piaggio typhoon 50 2003' for 2 days now, but i can still confidently say its a great bike. It only cost £250 and its in perfect condition. It has standard air filter, carburettor and exhaust, but it has been de-restricted, so on the flat i hit 50 mph, even up steep banks it will pull all 11 stone of me to 35mph, i maxed it out down hill and hit 60mph with the exhaust rumbling. it will also do about 80 mpg. All i can say is wrong with the bike is the wheels. They arent very grippy so you have to take corners like an idiot to avoid potential sliding. the 2 stroke engine is quite lively once you get over 10mph, because theres a little powerband which helps you along to 50 mph quickly. the automatic gearbox is great for riding around town and geting out of junctions or lights because you can just rev it with the breaks on and get up to 20mph in seconds leaving most cars standing. Its also very light at the fron so you can pull wheelies easy enough, not that ive tried :)

Ive had my Piaggio Typhoon 50 for 5months now i love it! My ped hits 35mph to 40mph on flat land, not bad but when you get used to it, its to slow lol. Any hints or suggestions on what i can do to it??

Many thanks
