Don't have one now, but when I was in college, I had a sweet little Garelli moped. I had to mix the oil with the gas, which was kind of a pain, but that puppy was one fun ride--and allowed me a little more travel distance than my bicycle!

Recently bought a 1984 Honda Gyro. It is in excellent condition with 1600 miles. I understand there were only 500 sold in the US.

For me, a 2009 Kymco 250 XcitingR. For the wife, a 2006 Honda Helix 250 (she wanted one with a foot brake so I found one for her last year that was, at the time, brand new, with only three (3) miles on the clock). They are a ton of fun. If you don't have one, you don't know what you're missing.

I have a Honda Silverwing. I have owned it for about a year and a half and have ridden it all over northern California. I'm a large guy, but it has plenty of power and I love the storage. It currently has a Givi topbox on it to increase the storage space. I also like that I can do most of the basic maintenance on the bike (except valve adjustment...I let the Honda mechs do that)...

I'm planning a western states tour for August or September and I haven't decided whether to take the BMW R1100R or the SWing...either will do well...

Forgot to mention that I took the SWing on a 200-mile run up Highway 88 over Carson Pass to South Lake Tahoe yesterday. It did GREAT...

We've owned 4 Silver Wings over the years....Fantastic Machines...ThumbUp

 

[jinglebob]

They sure are great bikes!

Here's the new one, which now resides next to, but does not replace, the SWing...2009 NOS Piaggio BV500:

Less power than the SWing, but handles a bit better because of larger, motorcycle-type, wheels and tires. Less storage.

Actually there are no scooters in my garage at the present time. However, I did own a 2009 Burgman 400 and a 2009 Burgman 650. Both were excellent scooters. I have had almost 50 motorcycles in my life. Everything from a 50cc all the way up to my present 2005 GL1800 Trike by Lehman. The 400cc Burgman was quick and quiet. I purchased the 650 just for the hell of it to see the differences, if any. The main differences in the two is that the 650 is a twin cylinder and the 400 is a single.

There is a definite difference in power and that is where the 650 out performs the 400. If you are riding two up, then the 650 is better. The only thing you have to get used to is the engine gearing down when you slow down. Other then that, I love both machines very much. I didn't want the weight of the big machines anymore so that is why I decided to go to the scooters. They are fast, quiet, smooth and very easy to handle. Good enough reason ? LOL. Burgman definitely makes the best scooters. There design and quality are fantastic.

I have a Vespa LXV150 (that's an LX150 with a slight hint of vintage.) It's a lot of fun to ride, has plenty of storage, and it gets great gas mileage. The scooter experience can be summed up in a few words: It's a hoot.

NICE Scooters Folks.....ThumbUp

It's interesting that there is such a common thread among us trike riders. In our garage, in addition to our HD trikes and our Nova (VW) trikes, we keep polished and ready to go our two Burgman 400's - hers with a Tow Pac kit and mine on two wheels (OK, so not really 'polished'). Seems we spend more time on those two funsters than our trikes lately.

We hope to link up with Skuuter and Mitzie again soon for another ride through the Tennessee hills since we're only sixty miles away near Huntsville, AL. I'm dreaming of Spring weather already and we haven't even gone into hibernation yet.

Merry Christmas, all (5 days away)!

Ok I want to see a real scooter ,only one is true VESPA ! Just kidding all nice but I do have a special love for the old vespa's. Dad had one when we lived overseas and would take mom my brother and I all together riding around the market places . I was only five at the time but still remember how much I loved that Vespa. Some day I may just have to buy one just to remember Dad and the old times .
