Recently purchased a previously owned 2005 Beamer Matrix, with 140 miles. It now has over 400 miles on it, in less than two weeks. This scooter is restricted, so top speed is about 30 mph...Slow, but it gets me where I am going. I have put better oil in it and changed the plug. I use 93 octane gas...

Recently purchased a previously owned 2005 Beamer Matrix, with 140 miles. It now has over 400 miles on it, in less than two weeks. This scooter is restricted, so top speed is about 30 mph...Slow, but it gets me where I am going. I have put better oil in it and changed the plug. I use 93 octane gas and I seem to be averaging right about 60-70 mpg. The overall quality for this scooter seems good, but since it is my first scooter, I really do not have a basis for comparison. I enjoy riding this scooter. Battery sat for a while, so initially was a little weak, but now starts every time. There is a good Yahoo Beamer support group on line that is very helpful. I plan to cut the CDI green wire to increase the speed of the scooter. The Beamer has good under the seat storage and a plastic, but roomy and useful locking trunk behind the seat. It's been fun driving and owning the Beamer Matrix. I look for to seeing how it runs once it is derestricted.
