Honda's Zoomer scooter is the preference of champions in the MotoGP field. With its not-luxury look and ultra-reliability, MotoGP paddock champions find it as the only way to get around.

You will see the ultra-cool Zoomer all around the MotoGP field. Its exposed as well as minimal looks may seem very traditional but the scooter is far from it, suiting in well with the hi-tech world of MotoGP. On its middle part is an environmentally-friendly fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 50cc four-stroke motor which pumps out around 4bhp. Drum brakes front and rear drag the lightweight 84-kilo machine smartly, while the chunky balloon tires yield sure-footed handling.

In order to get around the busy paddock in the 18-round World Championship, Repsol Honda's Nicky Hayden uses his 50cc Zoomer. Fully personalized, his machine comes in a cool, military camouflage green, and is made brilliant with Nicky Hayden stickers and Repsol Honda logos. Nicky, with so many demands on his time, needs a scoot that will always be ready to go and the Zoomer fully satisfies that need. He commented referring to the scooter that one can just get on it and go. He added that it never lets him down because it is so cool and it is perfect for the field.

Twenty-nine year old Shinya Nakano of Konica Minolta Honda also uses a Zoomer. The 1998 All Japan 250cc champ and 2000, 250cc World Championship runner-up thinks that it is the best in the paddocks. The Japanese star said that her Zoomer is fantastic because it is perfect for going from A to B around the paddock plus it looks so good. Unfortunately, the racer will be signing his Zoomer and giving it away in a competition.

But the Zoomer is not just for the race paddock. Bertie Simmonds, a motorcycle journalist said that he love the stripped-down looks of the thing and the fact that there are so many accessories one can really personalize the scooter. He uses his machine for running around the village where he lives. He continued that it is also perfect for roaming around and assured that it is fuss-free and 100 percent reliable that nothing can beat it.

The Honda Zoomer costs just £2007 on-the-road.
