IGGY SAYS:<br />
In the truest sense of the word, the CPI GTR<br />
may not technically be a scooter because<br />
the neat trellis frame takes up the space<br />
between your legs (a scooter is defined by the<br />
step-through design).<br />
But a trellis isn’t just good for growing<br />
tomatoes, it also stiffens the chassis up<br />
immensely so it’s no bad thing. Along with the<br />
large wheels it gives the CPI the kind of<br />
handling and stability usually only found on<br />
bikes. The special edition Jordan paint job helps<br />
this machine stand out from the crowd (like it<br />
needs any help!) and coupled with the funky<br />
styling and attention to detail (the trick fivespoke<br />
rims for instance) this moped deserves to<br />
fly out of the showrooms.<br />
I wasn’t too keen on the look of the<br />
digital display and analogue rev counter on this<br />
scoot (I think it could have been a bit neater<br />
than it is), but apart from that I couldn’t<br />
really fault it.<br />
The CPI’s two-stroke engine<br />
sounds lovely through the gorgeous<br />
polished stainless steel exhaust and<br />
it goes well too, it actually gave our<br />
fastest 0-30mph time at 7.26<br />
seconds – respect. The top end<br />
was slightly slower than the Derbi<br />
but there wasn’t much in it to be<br />
honest. Like the Derbi, the CPI<br />
also only gets a side-stand so<br />
it’s worth bearing this in mind if<br />
you’re likely to park it<br />
somewhere precarious every day.<br />
The GTR may always be a confused<br />
little bunny, ‘Am I a bike or a<br />
scooter?’ but who cares ’cos it is a<br />
beautiful creation.<br />
