I want a scooter.

#1 Unread post by Ninja Geoff »

Seriously. I want a scooter. Something like a Zuma. They're a "procreating" riot to ride. Bombing around a rotary, the thing topped out at 40 mph, getting odd looks from drivers, it's awesome. Border line amazing. Though I'd want to get the 70cc big bore kit, stainless brake lines, better pads and if possible, better rubbers on the hoops. Oh yeah, they get 90 mpg. That's more than double what my Ninja gets. It's also amazing how well they balance at a dead stop.

I still want a Piaggio MP3 500 Sport. That thing gets plenty of looks and is super practical. Plus the guy who tests rides their bikes before sales tells me he can get it up to 112 MPH so it has plenty of freeway power.

How about getting a Honda Ruckus. I hear those things are great too. You can also be trendy and get a Vespa. :laughing:

Time to get in touch with your softer, scooter riding side huh?
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

compared to your sidecar rig?

Wow, that scoot is almost as big as your Harley.

don't bad mouth side cars

Don't bad mouth sidecars unless you actually know how to ride one, like a month in the saddle. They'll go like Ben Hur's chariot, and with a complient monkey will outcorner anything on the road. Some'll even go where jeeps won't.

Scooters are fun too. But in a different way. Nimble might be the term I'm looking for.
