My new 'Soul'

[Memphis Raines]

The 2009 Mio Soul by Yamaha.



This is my first time to get a fully automatic scooter I just fell in love with this petite runabout moped. The transmission is a CVT.

congratz! magkano score mo dyan? FC at performance report ha?

[Memphis Raines]

Bro AY kahapon ko lang nakuha and I opted for the 5 months zero interest scheme: 72k SRP. First time ko rin naka own ng Yamaha usually we go for Hondas.

Siguro after a month of break-in we will know ang average FC. Tank holds approximately 4 liters.

Thanks!

mas up-scale daw ang yamaha than hondas.. magkano rehistro nyan/per year?

[flakez]

wow ang ganda! congrats! nakakamiss na tuloy mag scoot. nakaka miss ung tono dito tono don. hehehe.

[Memphis Raines]

Insurance ko daw is comprehensive for one year so I guess medyo mahal than regular TPL lang, the dealer has yet to give me a breakdown.

flakez - Thanks! I've always wanted to get a scoot kasi nagsawa na rin ako sa mga Wave. It really rides well

Congrats Memphis Raines on your Soul! Ganda ah!
I am also about to buy one this month na din. Same color as yours. Nung nakita ko si Rizza Santos na nakaupo sa Mio Soul(Motorcycle Phil cover) na solb na ako agad kumuha ng unit .

Update us on the preformance sir. And sana matipid sa gas.

[Memphis Raines]

^^^ Thanks sir! Yup, the black variant is the best looking in the line-up, the silver came in 2nd for me. Ah so that's the name of their female model .

So far, it's balances perfectly to take on steeper lean angles at the turns hehe. The transmission is still a bit sluggish but then I expected this within the specified break-in period.

So far so Fun!!

Good choice! I think its among the best value for money scoots in the market right now.

Good choice! I think its among the most practical scoots in the market right now.

Salamat po sa inyo

Boeing - your CBR is still the bomb

ryan - thanks! Tama po at value for money sya despite it is slightly higher priced than Honda Wave but then when you get to feel the materials that Yamaha used, especially the expensive looking black plastics similar to the ones found on Aprilia bikes, you will definitely feel that you are not short changed

So far naman ang fuel consumption and I expect it to slightly improve when the break-in period nears completion. My only complaint is the hard starting sa morning so I open the choke to get some fuel in pero after that ok na sya for the whole day.

nice one MR.

ingat lang sa 2 wheels

[karlbo]

been comtemplating to get one too.. but damn...

im not finished yet restoring my peugeot speedfight hahaha..

maybe ill get a big bike instead..

again nice choice memphis

[Memphis Raines]

Thanks Karl

Well so far the fuel consumption is similar to my '07 Wave 125. The hard-starting in the mornings are now almost gone (mga twice a week nalang).

I simply and strictly followed the break-in rules in the manual like warming it up for at least 5 minutes before using.

Ganda! I just got my Soul last Nov. 27 too. Enjoy naman. It's also my first scoot. I'm getting 25-28 kms/liter ngayong break in period palang. Silver yung kulay ng sakin. I'll post pics as soon as I get one.

Ang diko lang gets e kung pano sya nagin automatic. Pero I enjoy having engine break not like the 2 strokers na wala. Kaka aliw yungengine break. :D
