Review: I just ordered mine, (07) got it new with 62 miles on it and got a discount. I am 47 years old and I am very excited about it! It is a very sexy scoot! I have not rode it yet, I have about 40,000 miles on a motorcycle but that was years ago, I hope I will be able to ride it well without too much trouble.

Piaggio BV 500
Pros: Power, handling, brakes.
Cons: Not for backyard mechanics.
Review: I've put almost 4000 miles on my BV and love it.Sold my Kawasaki Ninja 250 and a 50cc Vento to buy the BV and never looked back.The scoot easily matches if not beats the Ninja and the neo-classic styling is gorgeous compared to cookie cutter sportbikes.But,I've worked on Saabs,Mercedes-Benz,Land Rovers,Cadillacs and the previously mentioned bikes and in all honesty the BV requires a lot of patience and time.In short,it is NOT fun to work on,but I absolutely love it.
