Quasi, hello from PA! I've had some issues with a pinched nerve (sciatic nerve/"sciatica") for years, and sometimes I find myself in the same situation trying to sleep at night. Waking up hot when I know the room is cool, tossing and turning, etc. Not sure how your injuries from the Hunter 350 wreck are doing at the moment, maybe that's some of the issue with your sleep? Food for thought anyway and hope you get some relief/get the issue sorted out soon. Love your content, especially the small bore content!!
I use mine around Newport here in Crosby and around lake Houston area. Check out the kymco cv-r5 concept it’s awesome and I hope they bring it stateside.
Thinking about getting one of these i was looking at the tw200 and this one i sat on this and felt alot more comfortable on this , my intentions would be some back roads light gravel and with these beefy tires on the zuma 125 i was thinking about pulling the level on this because just seemed easier and funner not saying the tw200 is not cool or fun what do you think bud
That's a great question! My initial thought is that the Zuma is "easier" to get along with in city life and as a quick runaround tool. The TW will definitely be more comfortable and "capable" overall due to its standard motorcycle layout and super cushy wheels & suspension. The TW is legendary for soft-surface work (e.g., gravel, sand, fire roads, etc) because of its balloon tires. My big gripes with the Zuma so far are its small wheels, crappy tires, and VERY rough suspension. With a front fork upgrade (YSS or similar) and a set of decent tires, the Zuma might improve in my ridability index. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Howdy, Bob! Yes, if this scoot were mine, then I'd DEFINITELY install a YSS fork kit to tame the jittery suspension. The rear shocks are decent, but they would benefit from an aftermarket upgrade as well. Luckily, most of the YSS components are inexpensive and easy to install. 😉👍 --QM
Just curious, have you taken the Zuma out on any dirt roads to see how it did vs your PCX? I know that my 09 Zuma has wider tires than the PCX's of today. Just a thought.
No, I haven't off-roaded the Zuma yet. I plan to take it on some gravel roads and fire trails. I'm sure the Zuma will fare better than the PCX due to its wider tires and knobby tread... my 2015 PCX has smooth pizza cutter tires by comparison! 🤣👍 --QM
This is a custom windscreen that was fabricated by Neil, the owner of the scooter. For my riding height, I think it could be a could be either two inches higher or lower to reduce the turbulence at my helmet. Right now, the air is directed at the chin bar of my helmet, so it's a bit noisy. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
I originally intended on getting the adv 160, but after some consideration, I decided I will pursue this zuma 125, I love that zuma has a traditional key ignition, a flat floorboards, disc brakes in rear and in my opinion better underneath storages, and its around 1000$ less than adv 160 is a big plus, probably less on insurance also, so hopefully by end of this month I'll have a zuma 125 to go with my ruckus, goal is to have a scooter for each person in my household and eventually get me a kawasaki z650rs or possibly the nc750x Pretty crazy, but I have a aunt Janice who died in the late 80s of a brain anyerizm
I had a 2013 zuma 125 for seven years and really liked it. The factory accessory windshield is great and you can stand up if needed. Very little suspension travel. Non keyless is nice. I sold it and got the 2021 ADV 150 which I currently have. The ADV is a better scooter all around. More power, leg room, suspension travel. The windshield is not good and i dont like the keyless system. I wish it had a regular key like the zuma. You cant stand up on an adv. but other than those three things the adv is a bit nicer in every other way that i can think of.
When my Cousin was a Sheriff he told me put on 4 led bar flashing strobe lights below tail light and I put one GS-100A controller for brake light top case so can see me when I stop day & night it almost like on your one wheel trailer! QuisiRaw
I think I've discovered why I've been having trouble sleeping and a few other intermittent health issues: th-cam.com/video/LegFFTaBbhQ/w-d-xo.html . I'm looking for solutions, but it's a ticking time bomb until I find some resolution. 🤔 --QM
For Mexico, everybody goes to Mexico to drive really fast. It seems at least that’s where everybody says. They were doing all the hooligan stuff. I wonder how Mexico feels about all that.
I like how audible the flasher relay is... on my 2011 Pcx125 i can barely hear it!
Go Quasi Go!

Just what was needed!!!! LOL
I'd love to try out island grill one of these days...to get there will be a chore for me on my acoustic bicycle 😅
Wish we get some of your heat and sun, over here in Scotland 🏴, odd great day, but horrendous rain all summer. Worst I can remember 😂😢😂

Good work, Question what would you do to the forks to fix the ride? I might want to do it to my 23 Zuma

Funny how the Zuma,Super Cub and Trail Cub all have 125cc engines but are different speedwise. You should do a comparison like between the three
I have the same exact scooter .. what are your thoughts on that windscreen?

Hot flushes at night? May be you are going through the manopause 🙃
