Picked up my new Aprilia Scarabeo 200 from Scuderia on Saturday! Went on an awesome first ride with Desmoquattro and Michael Moore.

BikerGoddess and her new toy:


Pt Reyes Station:


Yes, I was there too:


It's a very cool ride. Freeway-legal speed, very good brakes (they're linked), and lots of storage. The water-cooled DOHC 4-valve motor is great at speed. We added some bar-end weights (grazie, Sig. Moore) this weekend, and we'll be mounting the Givi box as soon as we can procure the proper brackets.

It's a bit hard to do with the linked brakes. I keep talking about putting a 2x4 in the front spokes, but for some reason BikerGoddess keeps vetoing that idea Evil

I really like the Scarabeo. The bigger tires don't look as cool, but they feel better to me on the road than the Vespa's do. I think you have one of the almost perfect SF machines (the perfect SF machine being my Monster)  Cool

Congratulations on the new ride! applause

Yes, the new ride is very cool, but I wasn't, due to the Scarabeo's aerodynamics (blocked the wind too well). Very smooth on the highway and on bumpy city streets. I caught DQ digging a ride on it while I was working at the D Store on Sunday. The big wheels made me feel a lot more confident when cornering. I've yet to work off the chicken strips. Of course, I couldn't keep up with DQ and MM in the twisties!
