You either like the looks or you don't, no fault there. For me it's function/Form. looks are most important if you are at a stoplight or parked. Different strokes.

I think she's been looking at too many commercials. Luckily her friends dragged her away before my SO came down. Don't know how I would've explained that one. |

Fantastico
It's funny to go back and read some of the comments early in this thread.
I particularly like, "satanically ugly"! I hope it treats you well, Bill. |

cause and effect
It feels a bit weird kicking myself off my own thread but I'm attracted to irony.
So far the major differences are more weight but better handling and increased power. It's more comfortable than a GTS - for the rider and the pillion plus there's buckets of room under the seat for stuff. More praise at a later date. Bill X |

Congrats Bill. I know you'll love it.

I'm happy to report that the other day, I did not own a BV 350. But as of two days ago, I own one. I traded in my beloved Vespa S150 for this more powerful, albeit, less aesthetically pleasing scooter. So far, no regrets. After all, it's still Piaggio.

I am hereby ejecting Bill from this thread, since he now does in fact own a BV350.
Nothing personal, Bill. If you feel strongly about it, genie can rescind the ejection. |

Lets hope he doesn't pull the Genie card. As much as it will pain you to do so Mr. Bill me thinks its time for you to start a new thread and properly introduce your new BV.
