    Really nice scooter! The stainless steel brake hoses were an unexpected upgrade in a scooter of this size. Fit and finish of the scooter looks really good on the video.
    BTW...the indicator you pointed to is not the 4-way flasher indicator. It indicates for ANY turn signal being on. OEMs do this to 1.) Save a little money. 2.) When there's not enough room on the instrument panel for both a left and right turn indicator. Old European cars did this for years (along with putting the horn button on the turn-signal stalk).
    Enjoy your new scooter!

    I just saw your video one year later . Loved the review. Thorough and detailed and it helped me in knowing what scooter I wanted to persew. Thank you very much

    Very well done walk around review. Back in 2014 I had the Roughouse50 50cc 2 stroke and loved it...……..till I started installing overbore kits and blew it up TWICE. I out the original 50cc engine back in it and sold it for $300. The Hooligan was the one I WANTED. I have a 1300cc V-4 royal Star Venture now. But am back in the market for a small in town scooter once again, and looking into the Genuine's once again because the Hooligan 170i has fantastic reliability now that it has been out for many years. All I need is to be able to go 45 MPH, BUT, we have some long STEEP hills here in the mountains so I NEEED 150+ cc just to get up the hills when the little lady is riding with me. :-) I am down to a Bintelli 150 (meh) , a Hooligan 170i, and a PCX150
    Great vid dude.

    Getting a rear rack and a cheap top box makes the scoot far more functional. It gives you licking storage, and makes the passenger feel far more secure.

    • @MK3Richvr6
      @MK3Richvr6  Před 5 lety +1

      I had them order it. It's a very good solid bike. Has actually a lot of power for a 170cc motor. The size is almost a maxi scooter. But I drive mine everyday way to much fun

    Both on my first scooter list. I’m big 6’ and 220#. After on year do you still like the hooligan? How about 12” wheels vs 16”/14”. Comfort including seat and leg/foot room, storage? Thanks

      If you suddenly lose all of the air out of your rear tire like I did, you will change your mind about that. Gets real scary real fast.

      If it helps, I'm 5'6" and own a Roughhouse which I believe is similar in size to the Hooligan. While I absolutely love it, if I was to do it again I'd get the Buddy because I can put both feet flat on the ground at stops. I can't do that on the Roughhouse.

    if you are going to do a gas test, just subtract the difference from how much you pumped into the tank and the total miles, and keep a spare tea bottle of gas just in case it runs out
