better looking that any modern vespa
As a bloke in his 50s, I cannot understand why someone would pay extra for a 'metal' bodied scooter? I remember the Lambretta scooters I used to see as a kid, and usually they were rusty as f*ck! Beautiful bikes, but always let down by the rust, the god-awful 'pre-mix' 'ring-a-ding' fragile engines, and the vague gear-change. Anyone who doesn't think the plastic body one with the CVT gearbox and a 4 stroke engine is not a step-up on the old designs, is living in the past for the sake of living in the past. Vespa progressed to plastic panels years ago and it hasn't hurt their brand or trade. Great reviews and thank you. Really would like one of these. (But with plastic panels, not metal)
hopefully this one ya will get home... and not be on the side of the A12 in norfolk .. .. the weekends are short...i dont have time for breakdowns.. love the trads.. but ive done enough pushing in my lifetime
as a lambo man and vespa im looking to go over to R/A they look the biz and 4stroke the way to go fed up with getting the rac out most rally times,and i think its the best review as it tells the price.ride safe all out there.
Great! Look forward to hearing about your experience!
Price, dude, the price.
I've got an italian scooter in my stable, had it for a decade, it's a keeper.
Why swap over from branded scooters, of a decent quality, to one made from an unknown quality chinesium, when the italian stallion is cheaper ?
Compared to this RA200, you would save £100 by purchasing a Vespa GTS300. Seems like a false economy, as with the italian, you know what you get, it doesn't rust, and is easy keeping in a neat looking condition. I've not yet seen a chinabike turning 1 year and not being rusty.

Vespa’s look like a pregnant duck!
Lambretta’s looks like a Ferrari on two wheels
For starters 😬
Piaggio’s are made in 🇻🇳 so........
4 stroke is not a selling point. You can tune a two stroke to get better performance than a 4.
The only thing holding 2 strokes on the road when the ulez ( ultra low emission zone) takes over the county ( and it will happen) is the road tax free status!! So when that is tax free is revoked its too the museum with them!!!
Those style seats were always called “king & queen”. Though the “queen” part (rear) would have been slightly higher.
I'm a traditionalist and ride a vintage Lamby GP200,and I would ride this .Far better than the horrid new Vespas,this actually looks like a classic and it appeared to be FAST.
Nice review, will need watch your 125cc review
When in Italy???
superb review! the real question is: is it better scomadi or royal alloy? Where's the difference?
Hi there this is a fantastic Lambretta. But why do not you put the saddle at 790 mm and the manouver at 1110 milimeters ?
180cc liquid cooled.. its got what i always wanted from a non GTS Vespa
ok sir
Would be nice if it was available with a manual gearbox optional. Automatic shifting may be convenient yet I prefer shifting myself.
I was the same with cars till I drove auto. No brainer. Auto all the way for me. 😊
Very nice. I’m well tempted. Cheers.
No space under the seat. Bad idea in a scooter
They never had space under the seat
Looks cracking that... Good value for money too 👍🏻
Not really good value, as the real deal is quite a bit cheaper...
I love the way it looks!
Excellent blog
Absolutely beautiful.
Does it have a centre stand?
Yes it does
Not a bad looking beast, and a hell of a lot better looking than the fugly GTS.
But who came up with the stupid name "Royal Alloy". Only the Chinese I suppose.
British firm, but made in China
I was interested until I heard it running. Think I’ll stick with the lambretta until the arthritis kicks in 😀
Mine kicked in
lol.. how the hell did it make it to the showroom before they sorted the spelling mistake
It is surprising...I would have gone with the play on worlds element and run with it as intentional.
Nice scooter.
Nice , now get your self through the test.
fuel injected?
Yes
How much!! You can now pickup a brand new Vespa GTS 300 for 4.5k OTR on AutoTrader
There’s some ‘18 plate for £3999 with 0% finance too 😳👌🏻
Fools and their money are soon parted..
Thought you hated scooters as per your previous videos. How much did they pay you?
Not hate, not a fan of but see their place and purpose and have an appreciation of their build quality
Nice video!
Hot Scooter! Sound great to! 😎❤️
How much?
Royal Alloy GT200
Does anyone know what the top speed is for the 125LC and the 200LC? TIA
It's likely faster than the handling is trustworthy...so it's fast enough.
Is the leg room spacious? Im 6ft tall and considering this.
Close. Depends how far back on the seat you are. The GP125 and 300 are the same size, so if you get the chance, sit on one to be sure. I would also recommend the 300 over the 200, Vespa based engine over this sym based one, much more powerful and better quality.
dont worry ,the guy who hopefully is going to build me a lambretta is 6 4 and 17 stone but still rides ,
well smart
In fact the brand was to be named royalloy and they changed it later for whatever reason. See this link: scooterlab.uk/clone-wars-2-scomadi-vs-royalloy-news/
What's the point of making something that looks good and then bolt a shit undersized engine in it?
I can see RA putting Scomadi out of business. They do look like a quality piece of kit. Shame. Q
I prefer scooters but trust me I still like to get my leg over!
😂🤣💀
So whos bought one then .....im tempted
Paul Wright picking mine up tomorrow 😉👌
@@arbitar222 Any follow-up for us, please ?
Just bought a Vespa 300 super… picking it up today🤗 I did consider the RA, but to be honest, I’ve read too many reviews, and their not that good; which is a shame, as it certainly looks the part🤭
Quá đẹp
Proper mod scooter
A Kymco Like 150r offers way more features and is under $5000 AUD on the road.
But that is more generic scooter looking and not like the Royal Alloy old Lambretta styling
I have to disagree . The Kymco Like Does look like a traditional scooter
Double like for this bike
Ripped off most of the Scomadi. No thanks, not cool.
And they ripped off Lambretta
You can tell the company have a great eye for detail and you really sense they care when the get their own brand name wrong WTF RED FLAG ALERT
It looks like a lambretta if you squint but as soon as you turn the key and hear that dreary 4 stroke ,drone you know its just a generic chinese wannabee. Dont get me wrong, im sure its a damn good scoot which is well built,loads of fun ,reliable and looking like a lammy is a huge selling point, but although it has the style cues, it has none of the character. Just my opinion,and im old so i dont like change so much.
1500 more than a nmax or the same price as a Duke 390.. Your having a laugh
With respect, these are superbly built and a specific design built for a certain market, unfair to compare them to a Duke or nmax which are both completely different styles. One being a generic scooter, another being a motorbike.
These things look the part but still aren’t fuckin fast enough!!!!!!!
I'm pleasantly surprised to hear it only weighs in at 129KG as a "full" metal bodied scooter should be heavier. The exrta power should be better for getting away at the lights as well as being more at home on 'A' roads (I would draw the line at taking on a motorway on one of these!)
The build quality may look good now but lets see what it looks like after a winter's use. The Chinese still have a way to go here...
Cheap steel won't last long after a few stone chips and salt have done their worst!
The customer for this machine is likely to be a round town commuter rather than a learner so longevity, reliability and ruggedness is what they will be looking for. do a long term test and lets see what its like after a years use!
" your buying into a culture" NO YOU'RE NOT! If you were, you'd be buying Italian Not chinese! Thats just marketing hype!
You are wrong, a Piaggio pX200 weighs in at 108 kilos, and is made from steel!
We do agree on the cultural issue! Neo-mod on a Chino??
Hit the nail on the head regarding buying into a culture, I ride a 2014 Vespa primavera it's only a 125 but is so much fun to ride. I normally put it away for winter, this year I've kept it on the road and much to my surprise its been ok with my mid size screen.
No under seat storage on this bike?, I would not give up my underseat storage.
@@1960ARC Yes, that huge storage room under the seats, one of the best parts of the Vespa. With a bit of skill, one can carry a full week's grocery shopping on a Vespa. Add a top box too...
@@thefreedomguyuk lol my wife often sends me of to Lidl you would be surprised how much I come home with including the bag in front / between my legs.
Whilst in the shop the helmet is in the seat. I don't understand why they couldn't have had under seat storage, I still have my old Honda sfx50, that also had large storage under the seat.
I probably sound like an old fart going on about storage, but I went to Dungeness walked around for a couple of hours taking photos, my helmet was safe under my seat.
@@1960ARC Amen to all of that!
Makes The pile of junk Scomadi and the gts look like a can of cheap dog food .
Ladri
Chinese in it ! Nooo!
Made in China, end of review there and then, soon as he said that.
With respect....boring unjustified comment
Actually it’s made in thailand
buy British Buy Scomadi.co.uk way better
You do realise Scomadi and Royal Alloy are the same right? Chinese built...now made in Thailand.
@@motorsforthemasses Scomadi scooters were originally manufactured in China by Hanway Motors, to Scomadi UK specifications. However, Scomadi discovered in 2016 that Hanway Motors were essentially rebadging the Scomadi scooters, and selling them as "Royal Alloy" Scooters, and claimed ownership of Scomadi design patents. Royal Alloy scooters entered into Scomadi's market regions, including MOTO GB distributing them in the UK, Scomadi's own country of origin. The legal action effectively resulted in the company having no scooters to sell for 7 months. Scomadi and Hanway/RoyalAlloy settled the matter, with both going their separate ways, and Royal Alloy continuing to sell their Scomadi clone scooters. Scomadi then moved its manufacturing to Thailand, though the court battle delay for Scomadi gave the Royal Alloy brand a period where they could make ground in their sales in the same market.
*The exhaust-sound is VERY LOUD and the scoot has NO lockable under-saddle storage at all...welcome back to 1960!* ( *It's METAL!* *If that's supposed to make my dick hard...it's not working* ) *I've seen Honda's over half-century old with original plastics intact...and Vespa's right here on 'Tube that are new and ALREADY RUSTING on the upper and lower floor-pan from poor quality paint finishes, as always, from rock-chips being thrown by the front-wheel and/or dielectric materials of different 'charge' characteristics touching each other* *This scooter was provided to me FREE to examine and 'test'...so therefore I shall sing it's praises!*
Way too expensive for a glorified shopping bike. Shocking!! My granny had scooters 😂😂 buy a proper bike
Royalloy!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣... could be a red flag to the rest of the build quality...well it was made in China what more would we expect.
Looks nice, shame it's chinese.
Unbelievable spelling mistake on the headlight looks awful, but not quite as awful as a RA union jack badge.
