Allllrighty then.
Scoot arrived back home on Thursday, plate on, etc, etc.
.... and I just got back from its first run on the road ....

Only did about 10km just on dusk and it was quite fun - though as you would expect a bit different. Didn't have any trouble pulling my fat bum up the hills (and I am talking decent hills), certainly pulls better than the Bambino on the same hilly bits.
Alby (Jukie's Bro) suggested when we were procuring bits that the trick exhaust might limit low down torque, but when she is up to speed

. Can't say it felt that different to any other scoot I had ridden off the line (but it has been a while) .... however once she was moving and up in the rev range, she didn't really want to slow down

.... even caught the traffic going up the hill

Comparisons to the Monsters (in stock form at least) that some of you might recognise:
. vibrations make the mirror absolutely useless
. seat is far from comfy ... very firm ... and did I mention the vibrations (should be good to keep the cellulite in check

)
. very soft in the front end ... a couple of springs off a pogo stick and a 10 inch wheel is a great combo ... oh yeah and your hands aren't spared from the vibrations
Overall its a pretty cool package
