Information: This used to be my one of the kind Tech for Fun Piaggio Typhoon 80cc moped. It has a custom Piaggio paint job with exclusive stickers. The bike has a sports performance exhaust pipe fitted (worth over £80) derestrictin’ the bike to the cruising speed of 55mph and the top speed of 70mph+. I´ve got 65 out of it and I am nearly 13 stone. This is an extremely rare scooter, in every 100 Typhoons there are only five 80cc models and this is one of them, so I have heard. I would advice anyone not to get one of these scooters they are pieces of ****. I filled the tank halfway an hour after buying it, and it couldn’t start. I was standing in petrol station kicking the **** out of it. The next day I got it started seemed it was flooded. Rode round the block on it and spotted a massive petrol leak, within minutes the tank was all over the floor. I went to a mate and he took me to this so called super mechanic, yes he got the leak fixed then after 15 min of a joy ride it cut out. Allegedly both the valves in the engine were open and petrol was going straight to the exhaust, if we tried to start it, the whole ped would go BOOM!!! At the end of the day I sold the bike with for £100 when at the beginning of the week I bought it for £500. Don’t make the same mistake I did never get a Typhoon, if you can’t help it get a year 2002 plus model and make sure it has never been abused nothing worst than buying a ragged bike from shit head riders.
