A few years ago I added some orange touches to my PCX to make it pop a little. When it was finished, I thought it resembled the face of a stinging insect when viewed from the front, so I re-christened it the Angry Hornet. People said, "but hornets aren't orange!"
Murder hornet comes along and says, "Oh yeah?"
I've put pics of the hornet, and the hornet below for comparison, but I'd like to know if anyone else has an interesting name for their scooter, and perhaps the story behind it.

Re: Murder Hornets and interesting scooter names
they're halogens. I think that's just the color of the bulbs. It does look a little different when compared to the LED pods on either side. I've been thinking of finding an LED solution to match the colors up.Yorkie150 wrote:why do you have an orange headlight ?

Re: Murder Hornets and interesting "Scooter Names"

Re: Murder Hornets and interesting "Scooter Names"
Are these the bulbs you're running?
Read the details about their unique color.
I've been using one in my LIKE200i for years.
