8. I dunno, but he'll never own one - It doesn't have a servi-bar.

13. The one I posted below has a sound system!
You could put a servi-bar under the seat!

I want one by the fall (too hot now to fool with)!

15. All I know is I saw this make at an expo - the guy said they are
very reliable. I've even asked a friend who does work on scooters and cycles, he said from what he can tell, it is a great deal and would be easy to service.

It has a sound system and windshield and you can get the alarm system and the extra storage compartment to add on the back! Hell for that price, I think it is well worth it!

Yep, by fall, I will have one! :bounce: :bounce:

17. I understand - I am fortunate, I work about 8 miles away from the
house and part of the trek is through residential streets, this scooter would be ideal for me. But not in the weather now, too hot, too humid and too many afternoon thunderstorms.

You have to find one you are comfortable with if you are going to own one, that is for sure.

20. i'm even closer
1/2 mile from the house. grocery store is 1 mile away and most shopping is within about 5 miles.

that could change though (work wise) so i'm looking for something i could feel comfortable with for within 20 miles or so (back roads). i'm no daredevil (not interested in highway)

23. I can't tell if the tire size is really that different.
All I know is, with the price of gas these days, a scooter is ideal for the distance I normally drive and the price of these models is incredible compared to the "name brand" scooters.

I hope you find one you like! :hi:

21. I would approve...
But, only if you get some rad spiked leather biker gear
to wear while you ride it...

Some of those racing boots and knee pads too.

There's joy in overdoing anything.

:)

Nice scooter.
