- A quick tour of my pre-owned Royal Alloy GT125, and a few things to look out for if you are considering buying a 2nd hand model, especially an earlier model.

Really enjoying all your videos, picking up some good advice, and tips , well done buddy 👍
Thank you Roy, Glad you like em.Thanks for watching !
@@RoyalAlloyRider keep up the good work buddy 👍
The only bad thing is it’s a 4 stroke, can’t beat the sound of a 2 stroke, 1 of the main reason I love scooters is the noise and smell of the 2 stroke
Hi Ryan, yes I know a lot of people that agree with you 100%!! Thanks for watching!! 🛵👍
I hope you get her back on the road!
All sorted now pal, thanks for watching !
Lovin the vids buddy.heading on the same journey as you in the new year, have done CBT bout 15 years ago but want to get into the scooter scene now.your vids are well informed 4 the novice.keep it up man.respect.
Thank you Joe. Good luck with your scootering ! Best thing I've ever done ! Thanks for watching.👍🛵
Never know,maybe see you at a rally,although I live in Scotland
Will be keeping a look out for your bike. Stay safe & scooter brother.
Would you recomend the direct access route you took n get rid of the "L's"?getting ready 4 another CBT then fingers crossed headin to Kelso in June,the 1st of hopefully many rally's.best channel on the tube RE: the maintinence side.not a lot of guys doin that. Keep up the good work fella.
@@joedonnelly7608 for me a 125 is fast enough so the A1 licence does the job. An A2 will let you ride a 300cc scooter, or the DAS for a big bike. But if you're doing A2 you may as well do the DAS instead as they cost about the same ! Great feeling getting rid of the L's ! Thanks for the feedback and good luck !👍🏻🛵
Brilliant channel and brilliant content Mate! Cheers!
I had exactly same scooter, around 4,500 miles the starter motor packed in, the exhaust rusted through in a year( I'm guessing that your exhaust has been replaced) the speedo did stop working, very hard to get replacements. On top of this the front brake pads needed changing twice, as well as did the wheel bearings, the accelerator cable completely rusted through. I did look after my Royal Alloy, it had 4 full service's so none of this happened through neglect. If you are only taking it out on sunny days you might be able to reduce some of the above ailments, I used it to commute to work and back through rain, wind and sometimes light snow. The linked breaking system is supposed to be a nightmare to work on (i am not mechanically minded) according to the mechanic that maintained mine. There are other issues, not many mechanics will repair these, as the parts are hard to come by (apart from the cosmetic side, ie windshield, racks, white walls, seat covers) and it usually means that they cluttering up much needed space in their garage. On the plus side, they look great and are quite nippy, the plastic bodywork wasn't an issue with me, less to rust, apart from underneath the panels. I personally gave it up as I was sick of throwing money at it and purchased a Vespa 125 GTS.
Hi John, sounds like a nightmare ! To be honest mine was pre-owned, full dealer service history and the previous owner had never taken it out in the rain, just Sunny Sunday Afternoon rides, which is pretty much what I'm doing too. I'm sure that's a big factor. I'm also sure that the newer models are less fraught with issues such as the speedo etc, which has been improved, along with other factory faults. Must have been frustrating for you. Hows the Vespa ?
@@RoyalAlloyRider The Vespa is fantastic mate, what understably puts people off buying these are price. If you do only use this in the sunny dry days you should be alright with the Alloy. Like the Ocean Colour Scene decals, look spot on. I think with the GP they have ironed out a few of the problems I encountered, keep safe, enjoy your scooter.
@@RoyalAlloyRider Hi, Im looking at a new Euro 5 TG 125 but im wary.. are the later models prone to problems ?
Looks good can't tell its plastic, not going to rust if kept outside and should manoeuvre and be quicker than the metal gp model ? which is the best to get .
Yeah if you're planning on keeping it outside then plastic body is a definite advantage I think. Anyone who has a GP will tell you that a GP is best, majority of bodywork is metal instead of plastic, so apparently feels more solid ? I've never ridden a GP so cant yet comment, but I can confirm that the GT does look the business, and yes I don't think it looks like plastic at all, hard to tell, visually at least. The GT is considerably cheaper than the GP, and as I went the pre owned option, I saved a bundle compared with a brand new GP. Overall I think these Royal Alloys are quality, whichever model you choose. Let us know when you get one !
Great looking scooter 👌. I have been thinking about getting one.
I would also be a brand new rider....any advice?
My advice would be to join some of the Royal Alloy facebook groups, lookout for a decent second hand one. In addition to saving a packet, they've been run in and often had any issues fixed along the way. At least that's my experience with mine. Second bit of advice.......do it, you won't regret it ! 😁🛵
@@RoyalAlloyRider great advice, much appreciated 👍
Nice modern dash. For some reason I was expecting it to be analog. How’s the under the seat storage?
Yeah dash is digital, clear and simple. Under the seat its the fuel tank, so no under seat storage. Thanks for watching !
@@RoyalAlloyRider Everything’s adaptable on a scooter. They’re the Swiss Army knives of the 2-Wheeled world. You may upgrade to a topcase, or saddlebags (panniers) before you know it.
@@ScooterwolfsMotovlog cheers i'll keep you posted with any new additions
I'm thinking about getting a royalloy GT 125cc. What's the top speed of yours and is it OK on hills. I have a lexmoto Milano 125cc and its a bit of a struggle on the climb.
Top speed on the clock has hit 65 downhill on the bypass, so probably about 61 or 62 in reality ? Ill be doing a "how fast does a Royal Alloy GT125 go" video very soon. Thanks for watching Jason.
Another great video a good insight and info. Love the decals.👍
Thanks for the feedback Peter. 🛵✊
I thought the RA GT125's were metal bodied and it was the Scomadi's that were plastic?
Oh I may have been thinking of the GP125
RA GT125s are plastic, it's the GP model that is metal. Not sure about the scomadi range, although i believe they are pretty much identical apart from the badge.🤔
✨️🇹🇳
Always one 🙄
Stay clear get the lambretta 125 v special far more superior
Thanks for watching and commenting. 6000 miles in the clock and no issues at all. Fingers crossed it stays that way ! Ride safe.👍🏻
🤮
Great that we all have different tastes Steve. Your scoots look great. Have a great weekend ! 😁🛵
Have still got the gt 125 mines done 10,000 miles have you still got yours 😊
Where did you get seat? Im looking at a 300 but don't like king and queen seat
Hi mate where did you get the visor to mirror components
Hi James, you mean the metal brackets holding the visor to the mirror stems ? They were on the scoot when I bought it 2nd hand. Sorry I can't be more help. Thanks for watching.🛵👍
