MZ Moskito 125R Scooter reviews

The MZ Moskito is a great scooter although the area that I live in does not have many MZ dealerships. I bought it in a Yamaha dealership and now when I go back there I have problems ordering parts for it. They tell me they have trouble with MZ. Every dealership I go to tells me they never heard of such a bike. It's a great bike but my only problem is finding parts. Show less

Picked up the 125R yesterday after 3 weeks to get here from the ship/customs in FL. First day I put 100 km on it and enjoyed every minute. Pleasingly quick and handles very well. Performs as well as it looks. It does have a sort of flat spot in acceleration before the belt/trans shifts up, but it's not really an issue. The seat is a little harder than I like and wish it was back a couple of inches more, but overall I am very happy with it. On local highways I was able to run with the traffic at 55 mph. It seemed to pull 60 easily and I saw 65 once on a flat without really trying. Their 53.5 spec seems quite conservative. I want to see how it acts once it is broken in. Show less

After doing some consulting work for a Scooter Rental shop in Daytona Florida I purchased a 2001 rental return MZ Scooter. I am a roadracer with the CRA and CCS and wanted it for a pit bike while at the tracks. It had some minor crash damage, but I had planned on painting it anyway. In Daytona you can ride on the beach, and the fat tires on this machine really made a difference in the sand...it handled great, you could even slide the back end a bit in corners. Tons of fun! I had never owned a 50cc scooter before and I was surprised by the power that little scoot could put out. I love everything about the bike, but I wish they had put a rear disc brake on it...the cable actuated rear drum lacks some power, but the front disc helps compensate. This machine gets ridden hard all race season long...two up, pulling a tire cart in stop and go traffic is all it has to look forward to. Show less
