Fast as a thief, for a scooter
Pros: Fast, great in the turns, cool looks
Cons: $$$, seat is too far forward for me, hard to get accessories
Review:
Love at first sight. Black, looks like a big mean bug. First run, fun, feels kind of odd (I am used to Motorcycles) and fast for a scoot.
After almost 400 miles, needs a windscreen, a bigger gas tank, and a seat further back. Waiting for my top case, and looking to pick up a wind screen from Givi, a Stebel horn, Leo Vince Exhaust and speakers. Really fun to ride.
Name/Location: Bob in Redford
