Modern Vespa

Yeah, visible, ok. Not gonna overlook one of those pups; jumps right out, won't be ignored.

There's not a whole lotta stuff that's neon pink in the world...

+1, Id ride a pink scoot especially if it was this one.

just ride with pride..

Wait, black stuff...don't you see the ruby in your guinness?

No one outright said MP3 Yay! I think anyway.

Like some have said I would probably ride almost any scooter but own is a different story.

Too funny. It seems as though just riding a scooter causes other to question your manliness and therefore it can enhance your own sense of self.

I don't know her rack seems ab bit large for her frame

I say it's a him and his mirror seems a tad small

So the mftr is wrong, and you're right? Have you thought of telling the manufacturers? I'm sure they'd appreciate it

I would never think of calling, say, a TMax/Burgman/GP800 anything other than a scooter. Same goes for all the motorbike riders I've ever met. And all the scooter riders I've ever met.

Problem with your "definition", imho, is that it freezes scooter evolution in time. At one time, a scoot like the GT300 would have been unimaginable, but now it appears to fit comfortably in your definition of a scooter.

Where do you stop with your definition? Is an electric start OK? Tubeless tyres? Heated grips and satnavs?

I just can't see that you're achieving anything in persisting with this sort of approach, apart from trying to drive a wedge between parts of the same community.

Oh, yes, and I'd love a pink scoot.

Call it what you want. It's still a Grand Dink.

A Grand Donk would surely be much better ;0)

[quote="judy"]LOSTBOY the helix is an ugly MF but it sure was dependable I'm horrible with shifting so that leaves them out.

Sorry there Scooter friend, Helixes do not shift. They are just like any other modern 250cc scooter. Perhaps the rear brake pedal you mistook for a clutch?

I had a chinese scooter Didn't do my homework first I couldn't even give the thing away.

I agree with that--we started with Ricardo imports--ugh!

Every Chinese scooter I have ever ridden has been crap, so no more for me.

I would never ride somebody else's brand new scooter or somebody's prized vintage resto. Just too much responsibility!

+1 you would be so busy making sure you don't crash or scratch it you don't notice that truck heading you way.....

A Honda Helix. fugally!

Probably only something of the magnitude of a T-Max would I not ride at all. I'm a small fellow and can't see myself enjoying it or feeling comfortable with the size.

I'll ride almost anything

i love any bike with 2 wheels, and would even consider unicycling

I would ride anything I was given the opportunity to ride. I feel you cannot pass judgment on something you have not tried at least once.

Would I own it, is a completely different question.

I would not ride someones stolen Vespa or scooter. everything else is ok

can someone please help me with a vespa repair shop in the hague/den haag holland thanks

you would do much better if you started a new subject as opposed to hijacking this one.

I wouldn't ride anything with wheels smaller than 16". Smaller than that they wear out the tires too quickly and they ride squirrley. Also the motor has to keep work harder to keep speed with the smaller wheels.

I started with a 1975 Honda CB360. Electrical was shit. Moved to a 2005 Honda BIG Ruckus. 250cc. Loved it but wanted more GO! Now on a MP3 500. I think I'd ride anything once. It's like having a roller coaster at your disposal 24/7 right in the garage.
