WD600589@044 Gp Test Sateli Peugeot Satelis RS 500 [TINTED PRICE BOX OUT] RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount) [TEXT] I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame. To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly.

Even with identical riding and machine performance, Mac's narrow lead would look four times as great by the time they reached the ultra-fast Masta Straight. In fact half way round the last lap Redman's oil tank split and McIntyre went on to an easy win. Keywords: Ex GB 1964, Mortons, Mortons Archive, Mortons Media Group

WD600589@044 Gp Test Sateli Peugeot Satelis RS 500 [TINTED PRICE BOX OUT] RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount) [TEXT] I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame. To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly.

Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame. To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly.

WD600591@044 Gp Test Sateli Peugeot Satelis RS 500 [TINTED PRICE BOX OUT] RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount) [TEXT] I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger.
