What is your favorite scooter?

[numbskull]

I had one of these:  An Aprilia SR50 Factory



Liquid-cooled, direct injected, disk brakes and it handled very well. I had it up to 95 km/h on the flats. A great scoot but you couldn't really use it on freeways. I wish I still had it for short trips around the neighbourhood.

My '63 Vespa 160GS. Lot's o' fun to ride, & will pull 2-up at better than 60mph 

Oh, & about 65 mpg

Thanks a lot for all your comments. From what you guys wrote, I gather that a 150 cc should be enough for short distance rides with the wife in the backseat. (I really liked the aprillia btw)

That first reply (Piaggio MP3) is a nice concept, with the front 2 tires that lean into turns.  Kinda like a smaller Can-Am spyder.

Whoever posted the Genuine Scooter Company, they're sold out of DucSea according to their website. I really like their Rattler Buck Ten. I will be looking at one of those upon my return.

sorry to thread jack here, but this seems like the place where someone can tell me how to find training wheels for my monster.

I can certainly see that you might need them, but I'm afraid you'll need them on a scooter, too. I don't think anyone here knows as much about training wheels as you do.

Old school all the way
1965 lambretta
there is nothing like blasting around with a two stroke that has an expansion chamber, clutch and shift with the left grip and pretty much zero brakes.
I am never more scared than riding my scoot.
Yes I love it. [moto]

Gilera Runner 125.

Good looking, quick for a 125 (86mph downhill on the Italian-so-not-very-accurate speedo!) and there are loads of bits around to pimp or poke it as much as you want.

Gilera Runner VXR200, 200cc 4 stroke. Have had one for about two years, top speed about 120kph ( 75mph) and about 25klms per litre (always full throttle!).

My personal favorite:


The guy at the dealership said it's "pretty stout for a 50cc"

What scooter is the one that all the Japanese kids pimp out?  I think it is a honda and it has fat tires on it..... Anyone have any clue what I am talking about??
