I haven't seen that many 50cc Agilitys in Korea. Actually only one so far. The letter combination ATX doesn't ring a bell. If ATX is actually ATS, I think your scoot might be Korean made Daelim Major ATS.



When I was looking for a ride I looked at Major ATS as well, but decided to go for Kymco because Kymco has 4-stroke engine and Major has 2-stroke. No need to play with oil, no smoke, quieter and the engine has more torque... not much but helps at maintaining speed!


yeah, ATS, that's it. Looks pretty much the same as the first picture you posted.

Hey, mine doesn't smoke, though, so I guess I can't complain too much.

Big bird, neither of the sexy threads I've made are actually sexy to me. Cool

maybe time for an upgrade??

how about a 100cc, i have one as a second bike (yamaha cuxi 4 stroke). very small profile (great in traffic), disc brake and looks good, oh and as it's light and a 100cc takes me over 100, plus accelerates faster than a lot of other 125cc scooters and bikes.

heaps of fun.


I've had like 10 people offer to sell me a bike in the last week. It's not a knock on you, but it's funny how everyone seems to have a bike they want to sell.

When I wanted a 100 cc scooter I couldn't find any at a good price. I should have waited to buy in the middle of rainy season.

Scooters tend to be lighter than motorcycles with the same size engine.
Two strokes tend to have more power than the four-stroke with the same engine size. I don't have a trail of black smoke.

I wore out the piston and cylinder. A new piston and cylinder was installed the next day for 105000 won. My brother said a new piston alone for his four wheeler in the US would be $100.

I've been driving my two-stroke 100 cc scooter at full speed on the highways and slowly climbing hills. I think the piston was just worn out when I got the scooter. For 105000 I could afford to replace it every year. The scooter has a squirrel cage fan to cool the engine and the automatic transmission keeps you from lugging it. This should prevent overheating.

Ah I see. The pursuit of intellectual curiosity. Wink

Sorry man, I misread your post. Thought you were making a proposition. Very Happy

But you can see where I'm coming from. I don't even tell random people anymore that I'm thinking about buying a bike soon because they always have one they want to sell me, putting me in the awkward situation of having to politely decline.
