I'm 51 year old life long motorcyclist who uses a Vespa 150 in the city of San Diego.

I'm considering a 250 or 300 to ride with my wife on longer trips.
But I wanted to try one out first.

Is there anyone near San Diego who would consider going on a ride with us and letting me take a short spin on their big scooter with my wife as pillion?
I'd be happy to pay a rental fee.

PM me if it's something you would consider!

in San Diego there is scooter west and I can't believe they don't demo scooters and they are a huge dealer, so check them out.

Can't help you with the test ride, but I'll make a suggestion. BV 350. $700 rebate. One warning though, you might never want to ride the 150 again.

Yep Vespa Motorsport is there in San Diego. Look em up @ scooter west.com or vespamotorsport.com

They have demo scooters, pretty much one of each model. Of course don't just be a tire kicker and take advantage i.e. just go to ride the scoot and take up time with no intent of even remotely buying one. That's just bad juju...
