Anyone Ever Consider a Scooter?

[Charlottes Web]

I had a 2001 Honda Reflex 250 and a 2008 Burgman 400. Then I got a few Spyder 2014 RT-s and 2017 F3 L.

I've had four Burgman 650s, put 5k on mine this year. I have the Burgman, a '16 Spyder RTL and a Harley Limited. If I had to go to one bike, I'd keep the Burgman.

Piaggio BV 250 here.
I've had it up to 80 MPH, but to be honest, the roll-on from 65 is pretty long.

My Yamaha zuma125 got 80mpg, cost me 25 cents a day round trip to work

I have a 2014 Honda Forza (300cc) which I traded in for my F3-Limited. It was good but not practical for long distance or highway riding, the wind from trucks was difficult at times. I also had a nasty fall which I am hoping the Spyder will prevent. I really liked it but it was not wanted for long term.

I also have a few beach scooter (50cc) which are great for getting around when there is heavy or light beach traffic.

I once had a Burgman 400. I'd have gone for the 650 except my legs are too short. If anyone is concerned about what kind of riding you can do on a maxi-scooter, check out this blog. This guy rode from Vietnam, across Siberia and Scandinavia to Italy. Start reading in April 2008. http://farqhuar.blogspot.com/2008/04/

YES! I have a Piaggio MP3 400. Love it! 3 Wheels and leans like a motorcycle. Lots of storage. I have been over 100 mph, and have no trouble keeping up with big bikes.

I would love to be able to ride one of those some day. I would think its much more stable than the 2 wheel versions. Occasionally they pop up used on the Local CL, but so far I have no complaints with the Silverwing.
