Your reviews are pretty awesome. I bought the XY400 based much on your review albeit I did watch other reviews too. Yours is pretty spot on. I test the GP180 today and your insight is very much appreciated here. I think watching your GP180 puts things into perspective. Thanks so much for what you are doing with your reviews.
Thank you for your feedback, I always try to share as best as I can testing out the bikes. How are you with the XY400? If you want to do some custom style mods you can look up Nuts Wheels based in Puchong, can check out their social media.
@@thesighbored The XY400 is just awesome. I'm keeping it as original as possible. I did change the mirrors though to the RacingBoy mirrors. Looked a bit meaner. I vinyl wrap the front and the rear fender to black. Looks much nicer. I left a bit of the lip of the front fender chrome as accent. After watching your GP180 review, I'm pretty much set on this. It's a pity they don't bring in the GP300. I asked for it but alas, they don't have it. I'll pay big money for anyone who can come up with a good excuse for me to tell my wife for getting another bike. She thinks I have too many, whilst I think I don't have enough. Let me see, I ha.ve a CBR600RR 2006, a Benelli tnt300 (which I turned into a caferacer), a XY400...and pretty soon a Royal Alloy GP180. Keep the reviews coming, man and thank you once again. The more reviews you churn out, the more bikes I'll buy.
@@thesighbored Oh! Yeah. I got around the problem you mentioned about the xy400 always finding false neutral of some sort. I tried clutchless shifting. That sort out the problem when going from 1st to 2nd gear. Now, I'm always finding false neutral from 3rd to 4th. You were right about the pulsating feeling when braking slightly harder on the front brakes. It's unsettling. I'm so use to the braking of my CBR600RR and was expecting the same from the XY400 and subsequently over shot a corner. Don't worry, I didn't crash. I ended up in a grassy embankment though.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.. I think CMC bring in the bigger Royal Alloy.. Try to check again and see.. I'll do my best to help you add to your bike collection.. 😂
I didn't manage to ride up to the hills, but I don't see any issue to ride up hill.. Fully loaded still doable just probably not at a very fast pace.. Thanks for viewing 😁
I treated myself to a RA GP300LC and the thing is craaazy fast for a scooter. I had the Speedometer showing 154 Km/h once and i wasn't even riding on an decline. To be fair, I bought a windshield that squeeze a couple more km/h out and the speedometer probably has some tolerance.
Though torque and speed is lacking, I think it works into its design. I think the GP180 is just nice. I tested the 150 too and found the 30cc different to be obvious. The 250 is pretty OK with nice top speed and could get you in trouble as the small wheels but I just hate the 250 front fender. It looks like a duck bill. It looked 👎. I wished the front fender of the GP250 looks like the GP180.
I worry about the air intake underneath. Water and debris might break this scooter because of the intake placement, don't yoy6 think? Given that this is air-cooled.
Most scooters with rear mounted engine usually don't feature any front air intake or air flow.. For the duration I had the bike riding about in the hot weather I didn't see any high temperature issue.. The good thing for air cooled is you don't need to worry about leaking cooler or pump.. Engine capacity is still small, just 169cc so the heat won't be too hot, if larger cc but still air cooled in this hot & humid weather then that would be worrying of possible overheating. For water I would be more concern about the floorboard rusting if the water cannot flow off it than water getting into the engine.
I believe there should be some sort of filter element to prevent large debris from entering the intake as well as prevent water to directly entering unless you try to ride thru a flood..
Scomadi and Royal Alloy have zero connection with one another except hostility. Royal Alloy (and Hanway) ripped-off Scomadi's design. They're very separate companies and, if anything, Scomadi scooters cost more than Royal Alloy's.
I heard about Scomadi horror stories too and yes, they not related and have no technological sharing agreement. I loved to hear owners' long term review on the Royal Alloy. I've heard enough of Scomadis
"Scomadi scooters were originally manufactured in China by Hanway Motors who initially productionised the Scomadi 3D CAD designs. After many delays,they brought the 50 cc to market in 2015. This was followed by the 125 cc then the 200cc TL models. A court case later ensued where Hanway claimed to have contributed more to the project than the brand owners thought fair. Scomadi themselves claimed that the Chinese producer, Hanway, had "violated Scomadi's intellectual property rights by making scooters under the Royal Alloy brand, which look almost identical to Scomadi designs".[7] Royal Alloy had started producing and selling scooters that were the same scooter as the Scomadi, but with subtle visual differences [8] This court case was found in Hanways favor. Scomadi moved to appeal, but later negotiated to a compromise, which saw the cessation of all legal action between the two by 2019 on condition that the conditions of said agreement were not breached." - from Wikipedia. So yeah, this brand is just China's ripoff of the Scomadi line. But since Scomadi moved productions to Thailand, their bikes are more expensive now, and at least here in Singapore, the newer models are not sold here because there would be too little demand.
@@thesighbored Kinda, the Scomadi line was inspired by the old Lambretta styling but with a modern engine and functionalities. They both look the best for a modern retro scooter in my opinion, but Royal Alloy is actually made in China, so dunno bout the quality. As for Scomadi, old models same same since made in China also but the Thailand production models possibly better quality. But with a heavier price tag tho.
The netizen who said he was willing to compensate you last time said: He downloaded the video from China's Baidu three years ago and didn't know that the video was yours. He still feels sorry for this thing, he asks you to forgive him once He asked me to convey it, how can you forgive him, he will try his best to satisfy you
I know electric will eventually be the next wave but right now I'm sceptical about carrying battery packs, short mileage and few hours charging.. Just doesn't give confidence to go out on fully electric.. Call me a dinosaur hahaha
You just can't help but clone the Italian style!! What a mess. Horrible. They are all clones of the Italian Vespa and Lambretta. Piaggio Vespa and Innocenti Lambretta are famous all over the world: Italian style. Everything else is just copied garbage Vespa and Lambretta UNESCO heritage sites.
@@thesighbored No I think. I guess it is the best form of speculation, since we are talking about industry, production, scooters, distribution and sales. In summary, demand (where is it?) / Offer. However, it is still a Chinese clone.

Glad to hear you saved it, maybe can consider some brake upgrade for a better feel.. Just another reason to buy mods.. 😂
definitely getting one. for a daily commute. Love this style.
Enjoy your new stylish scooter
Hi, nice review. Do you think the ra 180 can carry around 170kls on uphill?

Bigger cc, bigger fun! 😁
i like this scooter.. just better than scomadi. the color is very beautiful.. and dual channel abs. gotta get 1 soon..
Enjoy your new scooter soon!
The color of this scooter is beautiful！🛵
Yes it's nice and suits this scooter well
How they lock the helmet. Seems like dont have any lock for helmet
I don't recall a place for helmet lock..
owned one . I wish it have more torque and the bike will be perfect.
I know what you mean 😅
@@thesighbored any suggestion to improve their torque?
I'm not sure if they have any upgrade kits for this scooter, maybe aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket air filter maybe..
Though torque and speed is lacking, I think it works into its design. I think the GP180 is just nice. I tested the 150 too and found the 30cc different to be obvious.

I like the mint green colour : )
Very unique
Hi, any chance you can review the TG250?
If I have a chance to try one I will do my best to review it
Very good review! Told me all a wanted to know :)
Glad it helped, thanks for viewing!
Suitable for daily use or not?
Yes it's fine for daily use unless you need high speed daily 😂
Do you know the avg. KPL or the MPG?
I was told it can do 250km per tank.. If you divide by the tank capacity 10.5 you'll get your km/L
Modern look of a Lambretta
Yeah, but still maintain the classic style
Tq buddy for the good review 😊
Thanks for viewing!
‘santai’ is the key word for RA
Haha, yes it sure is!
Nice review, detailed and well explained. Subscribed

I've been waiting patiently to see u with your helmet on.. nampak di hujung2, kacak.
Hahaha for sure need to wear helmet to ride.. 😁

Well I didn't research that bit, I was just told that was the situation so I could be wrong

Yup but if the distributor is good at addressing any issues and complaints it should be OK.. Have to see owners feedback..
Front Compartment is also plastic. So 3 parts are plastic
Yes the compartment cover is plastic.
Be cautious on blocking pedestrian lane... just my 2 cents...
Sure
Just realise there is no temp gauge on the display??
No it does not have temperature reading displayed

#achievementunlocked
For rm3k price difference, i personally think that the 125 is the way to go
Well some want a bit more power with ABS, depends on their preferences.. Some can be happy without those features and go with the 125
Looks ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Performance ⭐⭐
Price ⭐⭐

I will not talk about this anymore.
@@thesighbored Okay, I will pass it on
Santai cruising bike, or go to kedai runcit bike
It can be both. Chill cruise and go café or scooting around town.
Similar to lambretta special
Yeah they do have some similarities
with that speed I think just buy electric moped with xtra battery so can go more santai in the city
Those electric ones don't have that classic design or style
@@thesighbored that true 😅
I know electric will eventually be the next wave but right now I'm sceptical about carrying battery packs, short mileage and few hours charging.. Just doesn't give confidence to go out on fully electric.. Call me a dinosaur hahaha
My old 71 lambretta is better than this . Maybe design look same but it huge different
I can't comment since I never tried a '71 Lambretta 😅
LOL, what's with the mask..

Please remove your mask how can we see your face you are alone with a camera person, the virus is not getting you.
The mask is a prop, I want you to focus on the bike instead of my face 😂 😂
