scooters kick ass

[indestructibleman]

ok.  i've been looking at all these pics of RG's burger and definitely envying the cargo space.

then, while looking at the peugeot site relating to the threadjack on hatchbacks, i noticed this:




anybody else got some pics of really cool looking scooters?

The Aprilia SR 50 is nifty.



They had a Spiderman 2 replica at Moto International a few weeks back.

Halfabusa (Burgman 650):

:lol:


I actually like the "classic" looking ones:

The Katana 50-R is a hot looking little scooter:



If I had been able to find one, I'd have bought one of them instead of the Yamaha Zuma I bought (but have since sold):

Honda Griffon.

Purty, but the storage space is gone!

TRON!!!

got a bit of a soft spot for the honda ruckus, too

This is just the ticket to park outside the (H/D) biker bar, kicking in the door (wearing your best pastel gear, and shouting "Which one of you M/F candya$$es wants his a$$ kicked first?"  :nana: Then run outside to your "scoot". Be sure to kick over a couple V-twins on your way out. I figure your life expectency would be measured with the "second" hand of a watch! :mrgreen:

You seen the big Rukus?

Oh, no, not if I'm on the Burgman.  It's faster than a Harley.  :lol:


OK, I really need to get that pink gear.

[Alphamazing]

It's a scooter. No, I swear. Look. No brake pedal.

For some reason, that makes me smile.  I will never own one, but there's something delightfully Tonka-ish about the styling.

[RVertigo]

I was thinking about it...  But the 362 Lbs dry weight and MSRP totally talked me out of it.

[Roadstergal]

Man, that's more than my GSX-R's dry weight.  And at its current state of prep, that may be over the wet weight right now, too.

[RVertigo]

Stupid isn't it?  It's a damn 250...  It should weigh 250...  Just stupid.

My sister's S40 only weighs 352 lbs.  

[indestructibleman]

i thought about the big ruckus.  much as i like the idea of scooters, i'm iffy about the prospect of a 50cc in LA traffic.  i can't get from here to school without using roads where the traffic's going 50-60mph.

the price definitely put me off.

oh, and it only gets about 60mpg.  some people (light ones i'd assume) get that one their GSs.

Psh, I'm lightweight and I don't get that much. I wish I did, though. 300 miles on a tank would be amazing. But with how I drive it...  

[Roadstergal]

Ja, I got mid-60s on my GSs.  The Burger actually gets a little less; I wouldn't be surprised if that improves, though.  The F650 had an extended breakin, and the mileage improved through about 5K miles.  If it doesn't improve, it's still good, and I'd consider it a tradeoff for the storage.

[Alphamazing]

You got MID-60s?? That means you should have been getting at least 180 to 200 miles on a tank... unless I'm doing my math wrong again.
