Well I want to thank everyone for their help in my scooter decision process, but I ended up going with a kymco people s 250. It was neck and neck among that, the piaggio bv250, and a scarabeo 200, and i ended up going with the absolute ugliest of the three.
I just don't have a great deal of parts support where I am for an italian scooter, and I ended up getting the people s 250 for 4000 otd with 0 miles.
I really wanted an italian scooter, but it just didn't make sense for me. I hope I like the taiwanese version...
