Nope......because if I were to get a scooter, it would be or designed from a Vespa. I must the say the Burgmans are pretty bad ass scooters, of course they are dependable unlike I am sure this BMW will not be.

Scooters typically have automatic trans and you don't have to straddle the seat to ride. You get in and out of a scooter rather than on and off. The wind protection is better because the rider sits behind the front cowl with legs together (no knees in the wind). My buddies wife is much more comfortable on a scooter; she has issues with her hips and cannot straddle a seat without pain.
