I hope they sell a ton of them.I hope the motor company makes them and sells a ton of them.Most anything to get more two wheelers and less cages on the road.It only hurts the oil companys and they havent hurt for a long time

RE: I saw this on the way home
My MSF instructor has ridden a few and was very impressed with them and he's a Harley guy too. Funny though about the jacket. One of the truck driversmy husband works with rides a scooter and he's always cracking up at how the guy decks himself out in HD wear yet is riding a non-HD scoot and does not own any other bike. Just a little class envy there me thinks.

I'm worried about you riding down the highway with only one hand on the bars, and the other holding a camera taking pictures at 75mph!

Dang, Some of you guys are rough on a feller. I was headed home from the feed store, meaning I had 400 lbs of sack feed for my horses and no matter how much I ride my bike there is no way I can haul that on 2 wheels. Theres a lot of horse owners on here, tread easy on criticism. And I didnt Flame her, I just kinda chuckled a little bit.

I have trouble hauling lumber on my Ultra too. Sometime ya just gotta take the cage. I really have trouble understanding this scooter though. It's $8,100 w/o abs... $8,600 with. Weighs 540 /551 lbs, has a 582 cc engine. It doesn't list any mileage. That's a heavy sucker for what you are getting.

I started with a Honda Reflex scooter. Very easy to ride. Fully automatic. It was light and knimble but real quick. I grew bored with it pretty quickly but it was a great communter vehicle that got 65 mpg. It also had a sizable storage trunk under the seat. I then bought my first HD-Sportster. Now I ride a Dyna Super Glide Custom. My wife called my scooter a "gateway drug" because it led to bigger and more powerful things.

As someone said earlier, I think we'll see more and more scooters out and about as time goes on with people trying to save gas money. They way I see it, thats less folks on a cell talking and texting trying to take me out.
