Last week me and my uly and a cityx went for a ride on twisties and dirt roads. It was nice. Saturday me and my scooter gang along with a BMW Motard (Long story) go for a ride on the same roads. It was friggen awesome! I loved it. I did two stoppies a burn out and a really weak wheelie. I had a blast and only spent $3 to ride all day. Today I ride the 9R out to buy some of those new Extreme Pro EBC pads for the 9R. It was blah. For the first time I thought about selling the bolt.  After my parts run, I get on my scooter and ride to walmart for a few things. I had a blast slinging it around the neighborhood. I even kicked it out as I left the walmart parking lot with the little guy all crossed up. My dear friends I have transformed. I once was a die hard Buelligan, now I have become Scooter Trash. | ||

I'll buy your 9R. You're not gonna miss it now that you've discovered your guilty pleasure in Scooter riding. Most guys don't have the courage to out themselves in a public forum! | ||

fatty, no worries, I need to get my calender solid for the next few months and then maybe a east tn run, or if all else fails a local adventure. | ||

Scooters are fun. My first motorized two-wheeler was a sky-blue Allstate Cruisaire (Vespa 125cc?, 3 speed) circa 1958. Not very fast but it sounded fast with all the neat two-stroke buzz, smoke and whirring fan noise. I like the 250's that Vespa has these days. 4 speeds & disc brakes, oooh yeah! | ||

Scooters are cool. It is usually more fun to ride a slow vehicle fast, than a fast vehicle slow. | ||

That first vid that Bads put up is in France & at the end he's hitting 125 kph on the back wheel. That scoot should be restricted to 50kph! the car parked on the shoulder at the end is a plain wrapper with a radar in the trunk (lots of em here). Also got a mate who's heavily into the old Vespa's he's built a stripped out one for racing. Bored & ported, lightened & balanced crank etc, expansion chamber race exhaust, the thing puts out near 30hp! Scooters are huge business here, any of you guys need stuff give me a shout & we'll sort something. | ||

I have a buddy who put a 250cc dirt bike motor in his Vespa. I'll call him and see if I can get pics. | ||

 Theres no substitute for cubic inches they say....dont know why, look at the lowly Yamaha RD 350 of old...... | ||
| Gunut75 |
Is that a huge bike, or a really tiny chick? | ||

My buddy dosen't have any pics, but I guess it would be something like that! Imagine; 100mph on 12in wheels, and VERY underrated suspension! LUNACY! | ||
| Dogdaze |
OH Shat! That sounds better than my race can! ....and talk about some heat on your right thigh. | ||

Maybe Buell will make a scoota using a Rotax 50cc. | ||
