With the recent boom in scooter sales, it wasn't going to be long before one topped the UK motorbike sales charts. The Peugeot Speedfight was last years top selling scooter. This year the 50 cc and 100 cc Speedfight2 beet the renowned Yamaha R6 and R1 respectively to take the title. With so many scooterists choosing this little French export, you can bet its a tough bike to find a fault with. If you currently own or are looking to buy an original (’97 spec) speedfight, you may be wondering what the Speedfight2 has to offer. Apart from the more obvious improvement to the lights, the speedfight2 features updated front suspension and sharper styling. With new prices at just under £1700 and used offerings mostly over £1000, the nippy speedfight is a reasonable investment - particularly if this is your first powered two wheeler. While the 2-stroke motor may be less environmentally acceptable than a 4-stroke, it should see you manage in excess of 100 MPG. On the 100 cc model, performance is easily on par with the impressive styling and tops out at around 65 MPH which is similar to most 100 - 125 cc bikes. More importantly, you'll be able to keep up with faster flowing town traffic, reducing the need to cope with the odd impatient driver trying to do 40 in a 30. The Speedfight is also practical, the under seat storage is large enough to accommodate most helmets, while the built in lasso lock and immobiliser should keep the opportunist thief at bay. All in all, it’s not difficult to see why the speedfight has become so popular.
