At some point, shouldn't these folks just buy a motorcycle?  I just don't get it.


Word and ditto.......but I can see why it is ideal for some.

Y'all would be surprised at how many folks are requesting scooters for the MSF BRC, so much so we have been keeping 2 scooters at each training range.  BMW has been watching it would appear.

Parking brake integrated with the sidestand clever? No, it is copying Moto Guzzi from the 70s.
Why is 650cc big when talking scooters? Why does it take a scooter to get out of the city? The thing weighs 600#. That ain't light. More marketing for the idiot masses.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Scooters have a place - they are a low cost, economical way to travel city streets.  The Honda Elite is an economical, super reliable machine that gets 100+ mpg and you can park it pretty much anywhere.  I ride one myself when I'm in Southeast Asia.

Anything bigger better have full size wheels and pegs on it.  Oh, I guess that would make it a motorcycle, huh.  Go figure.

I am sure she doesn't pole dance or do tricks on occasion? At least her scooter always has saline safety bags.
