Well, I've been seriously looking into getting a bike, license, all that jazz to help cut down on gas expenses. My mom threw out there saying by a Vespa, but I just don't think I can. I then came across this though.

Here's an article with a full review: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ ... 79813.html

Just wanted some opinions.

Mind you, this is a scooter, but a scooter with a top speed of 88mph and still gets 60mpg.

$8699.00 for a scooter? Too much. If you?re going to get a Vespa like your mom said just get a used one then you and Anthony could start your own little "Mod" scooter gang.

Eric do it up. Just think how much you'll be saving driving that around. The only downfall is the limited months driving it.

FWIW, get a real motorcycle. It will be in the same price range, and will handle a lot better. If you really want two wheels up front, look at the Bombardier spyder.

I know of a guy with MS that is looking at the spyder because he can no longer handle just two wheels.

He saw my bike today.
I think the vespa will soon be a distant memory
