AJS Barletta 50 - Freedom - Retro Scooter

- čas přidán 17. 03. 2023
- As you will be all aware, I have been trying to get on a scooter to see how much fun they could be but because most dealers do not have demos. In addition, ever since seeing the marvellous AJS Cadwell and tempest at Stonham bike night I wanted to try some of these inexpensive learner bikes. At half the price of their Japanese competitors I wanted to know if they are half the fun. Anyway, I spoke to AJS at the NEC Bike Show and as if by magic, Davey Brothers delivered me this splendid AJS Barletta 50. At first I was apprehensive and had my doubts about a 50cc retro scooters use in the middle of rural Suffolk. It soon put all my concerns to rest. A marvellous little bike with a real purpose.

You have just created what could and should be the official video for AJS to use in an advertisement video. The town centre shots were brilliantly done and entertaining. Well done you and your film crew 😂. TAYM also to be sometimes known as TAYS 😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks DS 😁 I think shows what you can do if you a bike for more than a few hours 😁 and have a Baby TAYM 😁
Great times
😁 thanks G 😁
That was a first class effort TAYM! Thought for a bit you were going full on Freddie D. what with the styling jeans and the Skechers!!😅.
You have to be one of the premier guys out there now, camera work and content are great.
Personally, I have dropped some other channels for various reasons mostly because of the agenda or the "shictck". But you're a genuine guy , entertaining and informative. But mainly the joy motorcycling gives you is apparent, and for me that is what I get out of my riding. Thanks and keep up the good work 😊.
Thanks JT😁 really appreciate your comment 😊
We have a Peugeot 125 Speedfight scooter ,Mrs Dino LOVES to ride it! Even uses it for her work as a Mobile Hairdresser, I often use it for shopping, to save dragging Enfields out, round town unbeatable, longer trips don't faze it, as it has a fair lick of speed and keeps up with traffic, no I lie , it's faster than traffic and allows us to command position on the road. Cheers DINO and PANDA [ Mrs Dino].
Thanks D&P😊 yes in Europe they seem to be a lot more popular 😊
You have turned into John Pawson and Freddie Dobbs all in one go excellent 😊👍
😂😂😂😂

Actually, you could be my little brother. I'll send you a picture sometime soon, of me with my new bike.
AJS has a lovely line of classic- looking, smaller capacity bikes. Maybe you can do a series on them?
My compliments to Baby TAYM for her contribution to today's brilliant and ground-breaking production!
Thanks PB 😊 😂😂😂😂😂 it would be fun to do a series for sure 😁
Marvellous video Mr TAYM 👍 had a sense of a Freddie Dobbs video which is never a bad thing 👍
😂😂😂 saw Richie this morning and mentioned you😁 thanks 😊
@The All Year Motorcyclist haha! Don't think he's a fan of the Niken!!😂
@@2wheeledwillie395 he’ll learn, stick with him 😂😂😂
@The All Year Motorcyclist it's my mission to convert the doubters!🤣
@@2wheeledwillie395 I am half converted already 😂😂
This made me giggle🤣 Lovely review and fun to see the man behind the voice! This scooter would be fun for the young and older people! What a nice little machine! Love it💪
Thanks Lillian 😁 it was a real hoot to have 😁
@@TAYM Make Mrs. Taym happy and buy the machine! 🤣 Perhaps you may borrow it for some muttering🤣 Give ’Harry’ a hug🏍️
@@Swedenbonnie 😂😂😁 thanks Lilian 😊 will do 😁
Anything that gets people on 2 wheels is great by me, my first bike an NSU Quickly lad very swiftly to a Honda CB175 while still 16 in 1970. Never learned to drive a car till I was 29 years old. Many many bikes later I am now on a Royal Enfield Classic 350. My bike is still my favourite form of transport and I will be 69 this May 😊
Thanks PC 😊 I think that’s the same for many of us and hopefully would be the same now😊
A little bit of you, a little about the bike. Really think you nailed it. no senses test! 😢😂. But you had to write a script and assemble it together in post. 🎉 great job, but I don't want to be around the old man or the giraffe for a couple of days. They will not be happy, with not being apart of this adventure. Beautiful job Mr and Mrs TAYM! From:❤ of U!
😂😂😂😂 thanks LoY 😊 they will get over it 😊
Had a Kymco 250 scooter for a couple of years a ways back, and a little 100cc Yamaha Aerox smoker before that, absolutely the most practical getabouts and loads of fun! Fantastic around town, shedloads of space under the comfortable seat for groceries, grog (hey, what now?) or a picnic lunch. Did a few trips on it too (the 250), sat on highway speeds and more without a care, and fantastic on fuel. A mechanic mate still has it and uses it to collect car parts and his lunch from town, doesn't miss a beat. I've contemplated getting another a few times, but I have an eye on a RE Classic (350 or 500) as they just look like I should own one. The accountant has warned me off getting another bike by hiding my wallet and shooting me dirty looks...
😂😂😂😂 but surely a Classic 500 with panniers is only a lunch box, she can’t refuse that🤔 can she? It might even be tax deductible 😂😂😂
@@TAYM I like your thinking! I'll run it past the accountant and try my luck, if you don't hear back from me you will know things didn't go so well and I'm residing in the shed with the bikes... 🙂

Brilliant review Mr TAYM... 🎵We are the Mods 🎵 We are the Mods 🎵 we are we are we are the Mods 👍👻
Thanks PG 😊 😂😂😂😂
It's the centre stand that blew me away. Great vid Taym
😂😂😂 I know, incredible right😂😂😂 thanks ML 😊
Well TAYM it's not a Hornet 😂but a bit of a surprise ! AJS with an Italian sounding name how strange is that .I think Mrs TAYM is going to want one of these to run around on and you won't be able to say no because you just got the Thruxton 😉.Electric start kick start and a center stand there is a lesson there for many manufacturers I reckon .Well a great starter bike and a very environmentally friendly way to get about ,their should be a lot more of these type of bikes on the roads just imagine how much better it would be ! less traffic jams less fuel consumed cheap to insure I would think win win win . Now that brings forth the all important question and that is what's the price ticket on this frugal little run around . Super ! 👌👍
Thanks Crumb 😊 it is marvellous and would make the world a better place if there were more about😊 and all for £2k 😊
Well TAYM first video I’ve had chance to watch for 2 weeks
Wow you’ve done a brilliant video of this and yes seeing you riding up and down those streets is marvelous add on to your videos
And heh 2.8 hp OMG 😱
Ace or what 😊😊😊
Good old AJS 😊😊
Great stuff
Well done 👍
Thanks Phil 😊 a good useful and fun scooter 😊
Ahh, 16, my Batavus 50cc the freedom the adventure, I never looked back still riding 44 years later. I hear your message.
Thanks RH 😊 you are the living proof 😁
Nice to see the man behind the helmet well done to Mrs TAYM for the makeup 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 you’re so funny 😂😂😂😂😡 😂😂😂 thanks GJ 😁
gameboy 🤣🤣 - maybe 30 years ago. A motorbike / moped at 16 is such a liberating experience I think all 16yo should do it. At 16 I had to move 15 miles out of town, my DT50 meant I could still get to work and see my friends. I can't believe how many 20-somethings never learn to drive or ride, especially at my place of work. WSMV posted a vid last week in which he was riding a 50cc moped he bought for his daughter, was great to see given the number of parents that consider motorcycles death machines yet happily encourage their children to ride pushbikes on the road!
😂😂 thanks Ice😊 yes, it’s crazy isn’t it😊 the freedom we felt back then😊 absolutely spot on 😊
Nice to meet you 🤝
Thanks VC 😊
Awesome video! You need to give your in town camera person a raise 😉. It's good to see the guy behind the videos.
I had a Honda Elite 50 early in my riding career as well as a Yamaha Vino 125 a little later. Biggest reason was it was way cheaper to commute on with fuel, maintenance and parking than a bus pass and more convenient then my big bike. Little did I know it would be so fun. I will choose a motorcycle if I can only have one but love having a scooter as a backup. I'm probably going to sell my Spade mini moto in spring and replace it with a 150 to 300cc scooter.
The freedom it can bring to younger and older people is very true and often overlooked by many. I always keep in mind as I get older or my medical condition worsens and I'm unable to handle a motorcycle, I will be able to transition into a scooter to maintain some freedom of mobility and fun.
Thanks DK 😊 I think for rural kids it could be an eye opener and a key to freedom and fun 😊 as it was for us 😊
Can't say Mr TAYM doesn't bring us variety. I kept waiting for Usan Bolt to breeze past
😂😂😂😂 thanks Andy 😁
"Loaf of Bread Speedo" - very accurate, but classic Mr TAYM style description, love it 😂 Really enjoyed this review, very well shot! Very good 'stage presence' as they say too, welcome to the other side of the camera 😆 The scooter itself seems splendiferous! As you said, perfect freedom for a 16 year old, with the USB charger and everything! 😁
Thanks BW 😊 yes great freedom for 16 year olds 😁
Mr. TAYM, Talk about a departure from the Naughty Boy bike series, the pendulum has definitely swung to the opposite side. Love, absolutely love, the new format, great shots of the town and countryside. BTW, I also love the standard mutter format, so maybe I'm just a fan. Back to the bike, I agree with the freedom and gateway drug aspects of a scooter for young people, and I also see the very practical use cases for in-town riding. The one thing that has me scratching my head is the use of an internal combustion engine. The electrics really seem to shine for this type of use and really have very little maintenance burden.
Thanks DT 😊 nothing wrong with electric scooters and I am sure they work well in towns but I don’t know about for commuting in rural locations. I did a 13 mile commute (each way) for a couple of weeks with any problems or worry about charge. I would love to try an electric for the same sort of time and same journeys. It would be interesting to see. 😊
@@TAYM Indeed, it would be.
2016 ajs 125 modena bought new as a bit of fun then got vespa 125...then a garelli 70 all gone now but let me tell you i sold the ajs modena 125 2yrs later for exactlly what i paid for it 1300quid never ever had that happen with any of my motor bikes ...🙄 ps i agree wth other commenter this film could be used as add for AJS 👍👍and such a handsome rider😉😉😉😉😉😉
😂😂😂😂 thanks you two 😁 I heard he’s a bit of a bugger though, a real naughty boy at heart 😂😂😂
There you are ! nice filming very relaxing ...you could be in Italy
Thanks Tom, 😂😂😂 that was my idea 😂😂 and you are. The only one to notice 😂😂😂😂
OK, I paused the video so I could type this so far in 9 minutes.
WARNING ⚠: watch out Freddie! Here comes TAYM! or...... I think they are remaking the movie," Farris Bueller's Day Off." I think you have the "skilz" 😅 . Wonderful so far! Looks like a lot of time in post for this one.
😂😂😂😂😂 thanks LoY 😁
Morning TAYM nice to see you 😉.These small capacity bikes and scooters are marvellous and could be the answer to so many issues of air quality and congestion in our cities if those in charge weren't so blinkered about electric being the answer to everything. These little things are everywhere in many European cities and that increases interest in motorcycles generally. In the UK we say you have to be 16 to ride one but the problem with that is that parents say if you wait until you're 17 we'll buy you a car and a year is not long to wait if you could ride one at 15 then I think you would have a much greater uptake and that would translate to a higher percentage of youngsters moving on to bigger bikes. Cracking video well done to Mrs TAYAM for her camera skills.
Absolutely spot on Mike, brilliant idea😁 they could be the saviour of the motorcycle industry and who knows, even the planet because one things for sure, it’s not going to be electric vehicles 😁
What a marvellously Splendiferous review, hats off to baby TAYM for the camera work and fly by shots 👍😀. I can just see the grin on Mrs TAYM's face now as she straddles this little beauty on her first step up the ladder to her own Rocket 3. Buzzing around like a Ballerina on the Barletta and nipping to the shops for some essentials. It was good to see the man behind the voice even although you were barrelled out like the Michelin man with more layers than prime puff pastry 🙍
😂😂😂😂 thanks GW 😁 yes a great stepping stone I think especially for encouraging youngsters onto two wheels and the freedom that brings 😁
Inspirational - I haven’t had a bike since I rode 250s on a provisional licence in the early 1980’s - bought the Barletta a few weeks ago from Davey Bros in Ipswich - perfect for zipping around Woodbridge and the the surrounding area on a summers day - love it 👍
Thanks DR 😁 I enjoyed it too, can you tell 😁
I had to think about this one. Great video, very nice scooter, well done all the way around. Now here in my state in the US you can ride a 50cc bike/scooter. At 16, they can get a motorcycle endorsement if they have a drivers license. Meaning, if they have the money, could commute to school on a Kawasaki H2! So scooters aren't the answer to get more people on bikes here. I don't think a young person lusting for a chrome Thruxton will not get a scooter to tide them over 😂
😂😂😂 yes it is very different here, 16 50cc, 17 125cc god knows how many tests and a few years before you can dream about a speed Triple RR. 😂😂😂 saying that, at 15 I dreamed of gs1000 and cb900 and still bought 50 cc moped at 16 🤔 thanks JW 😊
Marvellous TAYM, very stylish. I'm gonna show this video to my Mrs and see what she makes of it. See if I can tempt her onto one to beat the traffic. 👍
Thanks BV 😊 I loved it and for the older riders a good practice bike so that when they do their cbt to get a bigger one, they don’t feel stupid etc😊
Mr. TAYM, this is the first time we see you, I believe.. Marvelous ..
As you know I love scooters and it is like you said - there is much more to then then meets the eye. The best thing is theirs casualty .. You just hope one with normal clothes and ride in the rain.. There is no chain to clean, nothing to worry about.
To add something else .. Scooters have few sub categories themselves and I love them all.
Thanks Stefan 😁 absolutely spot on 😁
You have set the bar high Mr TAYM 😀. Beautiful camera work and a great video ! Have a good weekend and I look forward to a marvellous week of mutters 👍
Thanks DR 😊
Glad to witness a complete lack of bike/scooter snobbishness. They all have an engine and 2 wheels. I was hoping you were gonna get a Modena cos my AJS would need a weight limit around 100kg. carrying capacity, not counting what`s on the "curry hook". As you might remember I`ve been away from 2 wheels for about 10 years and I`ve been looking at scoots but in 125 capacity, as you say, twist and go, it`s too easy, have to take a closer look. Fantastc clip, by the way, very film-ic liked it, would have loved to see your normal trip to work on a workday in more traffic, maybe that`s to come when they deliver that Modena 125..Like the scooterboy togs, but no Parka, sacrilege!
Thanks MY😊 I have made a couple which I will put up 😁
Well. This is a bit of a departure from the norm. Most enjoyable and marvelous. Great bit of filming. We also get to see the real TAYM. People never look like you think from listening to them. I always imagined you to be a rather handsome chap!!!!!!! Well done
😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😁 thanks TP 😁 I know, I have had it all day about me punching 😂😂😂
Brilliantly put together. Now I almost want one for the London commute... but maybe I'll stick with the Himalayan 😅
😂😂😊thanks Noo😊 yes, people would think you were about to rob them 😂😂😂
What a beautiful looking little scooter, nice retro colours and style, ohh to be sixteen again,😃🇬🇧🏍 another great mutter for a Saturday morning
Thanks KH 😊 absolutely 😊😂😂
Nice to see the face behind the voice you handsome beast 😂Iv'e had a couple of scooters down the years and l love them, the bag hook on my Honda 125 had a label under it saying curry hook 🛵😂
Thanks MP 😊 😂😂😂😂 I really liked this, it was good fun and so easy😊
Nice one TAYM, marvelous in town camera work, you've saved AJS making their own video. Twist and go scooters are great for buzzing about on.....
Thanks H 😊 what got me was how useful it was in the country too, especially places like Suffolk and the lack of public transport and schools. 😁
That was fantastic, the round town shots were marvelous. Smile on my face all day
Thanks John 😊
I can't wait to read the comments.
😁😂😂
I like the new style of video.
Nice to see Bury St Edmunds on CZcams, lovely town with a fascinating history.
Thanks GK 😁 it is a lovely place to live and work for sure. 😊
Our village has just lost its bus service into the city centre. I live at the top end of the parish it is 1.5 mile walk to catch a bus operated by the local main operator. First time in over hundred years the village has no direct route into the city.
Yes, it’s getting terrible 🤔 they are making it more and more difficult for us to have personal transport and cutting back on public transport. Thanks CB 😁
Great Job TAYM , Anything with 2 wheels and an engine is fun by me.👍
Waaay back when the world was still green , 50cc was all it took for me to get the wind in my face and kick start a life long addiction.
As you say , Doorway to Independence , Freedom and Adventure away from boxes and screens. 🤘👏
( And the senses of riding and roads surfaces would make them better car drivers also.)
Thanks Andrew 😊 you sum up the whole point of the video 😁 thank you 😊
I like it because it makes a Royal Enfield look fast.😁 I have rented a couple of scooters, although larger displacement and they are great fun around the city. We have to avoid the potholes with those small wheels though. I am convinced that you should be on TV. You have a gift for it. 👍
😂😂😂😂 thanks GBD 😁 tv would be a real hoot 😂😂😂😂 they are good fun for sure and the perfect way to get people on to two wheels 😁
Scooters are fun, and they make a lot of sense for towns. Parking is so much easier on a scooter. Great video and great use of so many interesting angles.
Thanks BG 😊 just experimenting 😊
Freedom @!!!!!
😂😂
Not just an ad for the bike but Bury as well. Some great shots riding around those ancient street's and well done for taking the plunge getting out from behind the camera!
Thanks SB 😊 😁😂😂😂
Wow! That was great, Freddie's got some competition now. Unusual to have underseat storage on a retro scooter and a kick-start. I loved my Vespa Px200, hope this also comes with a bigger engine.
Thanks S 😁 I believe they have done a 125 too 😊
Great looking scooter,love the classic looks,fantastic town shots,great video.👍🏻
Thanks BM 😁
Probably THE best video you have produced
Looks like a professional TV advert
These wee scooters are so practical..
Hopefully you will get thousands of views / hits
Superb!!
Thanks AE 😊
Well done that man and film crew 👏, takes me back to my honda 50 days😊.
Thanks CY 😁 yes exactly, humble beginnings, the start for many😁
Love it. Want one. And so affordable!!
What a great little scooter! I want one !
Thanks SW 😁 me too 😊
A fantastic video as said some nice video work Mr Taym or was it Mrs Taym 🤔 keep up the good work and ride safe.
Thanks Steve 😊 it was Baby TAYM 😊😂😂
Nice little scooter, I had never ridden a scooter in all my 40+ years of biking but last year just fancied giving it a go. After a false start I bought a BMW 350cc and love it. I got rid of a car when I retired and use the scooter for getting around but because of its comfort and engine capacity it can do much more like sit quite happily at 70mph on the motorway two up, think it does about 90 or just over top speed. Used it through this winter heated seats and grips, big top box so far only avoided the really frosty mornings. I did think at one point it’s all I need but then get on one of the bigger bikes and realise it’s not all I want so it compliments rather than replaces them. I like the idea of the smaller capacity but I’m a 30 mile round trip to the nearest town so feel I need a bit more👍
Thanks SW😁 marvellous and to think it could all start with something like this little AJS😁
Nice to see you TAYM. Great looking video.
Thanks JH😊
Mr TAYM, this is one of your best videos! The town scenes with the music and remote shots of you riding were well done!
I’ve never owned a scooter but alive wanted one for as long as I can remember. This would be a convenient (and fun) village hopper. I could go from Morro Bay to Los Osos, to San Luis Obispo on the back roads. That would be marvelous!
If it would get Ms Wolf on a scooter that would be splendiferously marvelous❣️😊
Thanks PW 😊 I am sure Mrs Wolf would love it 😁
Outstanding video m8. I've said it before, and I'll say it again I love the variety of bikes you review. What a fantastic little bike. My Boy had a little scooter when he was 16. It was great for him. Gee, you're a big brute of man as well, lol😁😆😅🤣
😂😂😂😂 thanks IT 😁😂😂😂
Mr TAYM; marvellous review, so enjoyable that it watched twice. Nice little bike, i can see the appeal. Ride safe and take care.
Thanks TG 😊 it’s all about getting people to see the fun two wheels can bring. 😁
@@TAYM Spot on, I think they're bringing a 125 version out as well.
Wow, that was a splendiferous episode mr Taym. 😊 I think AJS will be very happy with your review too . Appreciate the effort you and Mrs Taym put into this video, well done mate 👍
And as a bonus we got to see Mr Taym unmasked 😁
Was a bit like seeing KISS unmasked for the first time 😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks ABD 😁 😂😂😂
Nicely put together. Good work from the 2nd unit camera person. One thing about 50cc scoots, you don't have to worry about passing cyclists as they'll be passing you. 😜
😂😂😂😂 thanks T 😊 very true 😂😂
When you did the walk around, I though it was Freddie Dobbs older brother! Great video Mr TAYM, cool little bike for the 16&17 year olds.
Thanks HJP😁 😂😂😂😂 ideal start on two wheels 😊
Another great view from a different age.
Really 6.2 not in this clip haha.
Very jealous just to ride it.😊
Thanks MW 😊 😂😂😂
Two Mickey Mouse mirrors and a loaf of bread please.😅😅.Love it!
😂😂😂 thanks BR 😊
I was in Davey Brothers on Thursday, having my classic 500 first service (400 miles). When I first looked at it I thought it was a Vespa. Until I took a closer look. It's a cracking looking scooter. And thankyou for a marvelous review yet again
Thanks SA 😁 yes marvellous place with some cracking looking bikes 😁
Ooh, suits you sir! Tremendous little offering TAYM, and good to see the embodiment of the voice 😅.
Back in '69 (yeah yeah, the summer of 69 and all that) when I first took to the roads, I was forced by parental influences to use an ageing Lambretta before my BSA days. I have to say though TAYM, if I had the funds there'd be a Vespa ensconced in the man-cave. The AJS looks a great little runaround, and to me it looks a tad Lambretta-esque. Would Mrs TAYM not like one? Stay safe TAYM, and see you in the next one. 👍😎
Thanks Martin 😊 Mrs TAYM would not take any persuading I think 😊 would be good fun too 😊
Fantastic looking little scooter. I overtook a large group of cyclist's last week on my classic 350 as they were holding all the traffic up. They shouted at me like they own the road. Madness
Thanks RC 😁 yes they definitely think they own the roads 😡
They do think they own the road, it's a pity they don't contribute to the maintenance by paying road tax.
As promised I'm here giving my second view, like and comment to this video. I think AJS should give you the Barletta as a long termer, you've already produced a corker of an advert for their bike. Imagine if Mrs TAYM'S entry into the biking fraternity was also out there for all to see, how many more converts would that bring 🤔👍
There's just one serious issue regarding such bikes, which is alarming for the future. Like you so rightly point out such bikes make so much sense for the future. Unfortunately the government has brought forwards the ban on sales of new 50 -125cc bikes from 2030 to 2025....Madness 😟🙃 Cheers TAYM from 🐺
Thanks ML 😁 it will be interesting to see if it comes to be 🤔
Bostin review of a crackin scooter! Love the footage of you riding it around the town top marks to the camera operator and director. I can see a real growth market for scooters as car ownership becomes more and more restrictive.
You have rapidly become the common man’s Missenden Flyer only much more modest and better looking 😁
😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😂😂😂 yes, Baby TAYM is a wiz with the camera 😊

Thanks JI 😁 I do hope so😊 that would be marvellous 😊
Love it!
Marvellous little thing 😁 thanks AFF 😁
great vid like the format, so by by Bertie, thruxton, Wendy etc hello Barletta and casual clothes 😀😀😀
😂😂😂 slight issue with motorways 😁
Brilliant Mr TAYM ! And great to put a face to you too. My son has an almost identical spec bike (Lexmoto Nano), and he has just very recently progressed to a 125cc (cheap but naughty boy one that I’ve put a Black Widow exhaust on, and ripped the airbox off 😁).
There are always hidden but usually easy ways of getting that 30mph up to 40mph as well. On my son’s, it was just a case of blocking two vacuum tubes that limit the throttle response. But don’t tell Mr Plod about that. 🤫😂
😂😂😂 brilliant 😁 thanks Karl😊yes seen the Lexmoto at Davey Brothers, incredible looking bike that would cost £6k if it had a Honda badge on it 🤔 we need kids to want to ride which means making it affordable and fun 😁
Morning Mr TAYM, loved the format. Buzzin round the town, made for cool videography, and nicely edited together. I had a Peugeot Django 125 for a while, great fun, and easily did 50 mph. Bought it to go on a rack on the back of the motorhome, but sold it when we realised it was too heavy 😳🙄. Anyway, great video.
Thanks Ian 😁 you would have no weight problem with this 😁
@@TAYM too late, motorhome gone 😎
@@ianhughesroyalenfield 😂😂
Hello TAYM, still lurking and enjoying the great content. Loved this review but I do have one comment: now we've had the big face reveal and having previously seen Mrs TAYM....you are seriously punching, fella!!! Good work 👏.
😂😂😂 I know 😂😂😂 just don’t tell Mrs TAYM 😂😂😂
I have never owned a scooter though in high school a friend had one that he occasionally let me ride which was an absolute joy! I remember that his scooter was sold by Sears-Roebuck & Co. so who the actual manufacturer was I don’t know and, I believe, it was capable of 50-60 mph and this was 1963. Here in Phoenix the scooters appear to be larger and made by Honda, Suzuki and Lambretta predominantly. Really enjoyed your video, scoot on!
Thanks MP 😊
Ah ha, that’s what you look like. Great camera work on this vid. Makes a load of difference with somebody doing the filming. What a fantastic little thing the Barletta is. You don’t mention the price point but I’m thinking £2500 ish, could be way out. It is Chinese. So efficient round town and not shabby on country roads. I’d avoid the A14 obvs. Have you had it two up? Great video matey, in fact as one of your other fans said, it could be an AJS promo video. Excellent, splendiferous, marvellous. ✊️😊🛵
Thanks MS 😊 not far out, 2k 😁 only two up on the drive and it felt very stable with little effect on power once moving 😂😂😂 much easier with someone filming 😁
TAYM has arrived in the big time🤣🤣🤣 getting bikes delivered , brilliant and well deserved. That was a brilliant video and some of the shots around town were outstanding. I started on a 50cc moped and have no idea why 16 year olds do not do the same. I asked my grandson who just turned 16 if he wanted one and he no. Tut tut.
Thanks BV.😁 I know, we need to inject some excitement into the idea, the freedom etc that they could have. What you should do is all stop giving them lifts everywhere 😂😂😂😂
@@TAYM haha now there is a thought.

Great video I always have a scooter with my bikes I have a 2022 Honda Forza 350
Thanks HS 😊 they are very handy indeed 😊
i love it !!
Thanks B 😁
Well I never, TAYM is a real person, lol. Scooters are undoubtedly cool and I'm looking forward to getting out on one or two in the near future. I don't want to worry you, but there is a distinct similarity to the great one himself, Yes Uncle Stu?? just sayin' 😉
😂😂😂 thanks CMD😂😂😂
Great to see you get down with the yoof! 😁190 miles from a 12 pint fuel tank...it's as close to free as you can get! The ecomentalists go on about giving up powered personal transport and taking public transport. That's fine if you live in a big city which they seem to think everyone does, but a whole different kettle of haddock when it gets even slightly rural.
Thanks B 😁 my point exactly 😊
You forgot to stop at Starbucks for a latte .
TAYM goes trendy and F Dobbs Esq has to look to his laurels !
If the Barletta were a dog , it would be a ShitZuh [ I think that's how you spell it ].
Thanks , but No Thanks .
I rode a scooter once .
PS . joking aside ,it's a very well made video .
😂😂😂😂 thanks DS😁😂😂😂
Looking forward to the AJS '71 Desert Scrambler review that looks lovely in orange and only a £housand more,
It would be great 😁 I hope they let me have one😁
Good looking little scooter. Really liking the new style videoing as well. Don't know who took the video of you and the scooter in Bury, but they did a great job.

I'm overjoyed with this! The Barletta is so sweet. Perfect for women. It's a low seat, for a scooter, it's light, under 100 kg I think, only £2000 + OTR and does 120 mpg!
Also for anyone interested, they are supposed to be bringing out a 125cc version later.
If you are going to be naughty, I would wear Moto jeans though. The first time I took a 50cc on wet grass, I fell off and lightly banged my knee. Was OK the next time 😂😈
😂😂 thanks Lily😁 hmm wet grass, what you needed was the AJS Desert Scrambler 😊😂😂😂
Watch this space 😉
Rather taken with the Cadwell as well. If only I had a bigger garage 🙄
@@lilynorthover8378 I think they all look marvellous 😁
I think you're right 😊
My wife fell asleep on the back off my motorcycle riding 60 mhp. I would fall asleep riding this at 30 mhp. Not for me. But like the retro look.
😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😂😂😊 thanks W 😊
Am I the only one with no sound during the walkround ????
What a great little bike though , I never saw that coming ! ... The styling is spot on as so many of
these Chinese small capacity bikes are , they seem to allow the stylist's to have a free reign and allow
their vision's to make it to production rather than being watered down along the way.
That’s Strange🤔 don’t know🤔 sorry DJ
@@TAYM No problem just thought you should know. I think the audio is missing from the walkround section ... maybe you need to re-edit and upload again ?? ...I'm no expert though !!
I don't know why, but this happens to me on Rest Day Riders channel. I just put subtitles on. TAYMs is fine for me.
Walk round sound was fine for me.
*UPDATE ! .. just watched on main TV and NO problems ??? , checked back on laptop and same
problem persists ?? ... anyone know why on earth this could be ?🤔😕😕
Got to try xmax300 or 350 forza. So good. My 600 bmw would not keep up with it. 90 plus maybe but only just!
Marvellous 😁 thanks Charlie 😊
😱 Weekend ruined! No, not the scooter ! But full on TAYM. Have to spend the weekend in a darkened room - rocking from side to side! 😱🤣
😂😂😂 now you know what a 34 inside leg looks like 😂😂😂 no wonder 😂😂😂
@@TAYM 😡😡😡😡
What’s my therapists number! 🤣
@@daviddavies5347 😂😂😂😂😂
Some really good camera work there, I’m assuming it was Mrs TAYM doing that for you. That’s a brilliant looking bike too, but the wife wants to know who was the chisel jawed, Adonis lip-syncing to your voice during the walk round..? 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 I know we have never met but I love Mrs Foxy 😍😂😂😂😂 it was Baby TAYM on the other side of the camera 😁😂😂 thanks Foxy
Great video Mr T, did Monica pop back from Bali to do the filming and the editing??😊
😂😂😂😂 thanks HB😊 😂😂
Nice review, and all the power you could ask for! 😂😂 Any idea what the fuel mileage is?
Thanks 2WV 😊 I think about 120mpg 😁
Great video! Nice scooter! How much fuel does it hold? What kind of fuel milage does it get? It might be a better alternative than an electric motorcycle if there's a gasoline apocalypse. Oh gosh: I've been watching uncle Stuart too much!🤣
😂😂😂😂 thanks FL 😊 133mpg and holds 6.6 litres 😊
Quite surprised with their web site the specification is almost a service data chart with part numbers, even Triumph won't give you that .
Thanks BRR 😊
