To those who doubt...
..."the scooter thing" goes like this,
1) It's much smaller than a moto so it's way more managable around the city.
2) By that I mean you can go as fast as a moto in the city but have only 1/4 of the weight so it feels like nothing.
3) Gas mileage is sic! Believe me gasoline is going up again, sometime.
4) Chicks dig 'em!
5) You can seat two comfortably WITH storage if you have a top box.
6) They are very cool.
7) Here's the main reason is that they are just so much fun to ride!
With the availablity of upgrades such as Perelli or Michelin tires, K&N air filters, performance mods that are so freakin cheap you won't believe your eyes it all adds up to a very fun and affordable ride. That's it. Oh, and if you have seen any of the photos of or were at the MvR this past weekend you would get a different perspective of two wheeled transportation...IMHO that is.
