Just purchased a phantom r4i today after doing months of research and test driving different scooters. The phantom for a 150cc scooter and around 2000.00 seemed to give the biggest bang for the buck. The bike seemed to be high quality for a middle of the line scooter. I read reports, checked into companies...etc I actually got really anal about the scooter I wanted to buy. So many companies promising an excellent product...I rode Kymco, TnG, Derbi, Dazon, and a few others I can't remember. The Phantom stood out every time I rode one. The scooter is bigger and feels extremely comfortable, not like you were riding your kids bike feeling all unbalanced and out of control. Alot of the other brands when turning you felt like you wanted to put your foot down to keep from tipping. The phantom was excellent in this respect even at low speeds. For a scooter you could tell you had something under you. I haven't ridden much but for a first time ride on a scooter it made it almost natural. The body does seem a little thin but not much different in regards to comprable scooters. The ABS on the front is an amazing feature. Cruising around fifteen and give em a good sqeeze and they smoothly slow you to a stop. The same done on other scooters gave me a chattery, should of strapped the saddle on lets go over the handle bars reaction. To make a long story short the Phantom stood up to any other scooter I rode for the money. I'll update as much as I can as I put the miles on it. If my research holds good it should last me awhile. Hope the info helps
