Topic: Moped riders

ok, those don't suck...

[Burnboy]

i just look at those bikes and think of all the lost man hours, 2 wheel equivalent of a ricer

Just like our bikes are ancient heaps to most of todays riders, burnboy?

everyone has reasons for liking what they have.

maybe I'm just having a moped vs. scooter crisis.  There are a TON of scooters around here.  from little old Honda elites to new 'vintage' looking ones, etc...

I confess, to me, as long as it's a throw-over leg design, it's a motorcycle.  It might not have a ton of power, etc, but you're not sitting on something with your knees clamped together like a dog sh*tting a razor blade, either. 

I'd happily ride a moped, especially if it looked like the ones pictured above.  Count me out on the scooters coming out today... vespas and the like.  If I can't straddle it, I'm not riding it.

How about the honda silverwing? It is a 600cc skooter more than capable of handling interstate rides with a top speed over 100 mph.

Or maybe the suzuki burgman?
Maybe re-think the throw leg over argument?

Bring it.

Now that's my idea of a vespa.....

dog sh*tting a razor blade

urgh... bad visual. reminds me of having the flu really bad. 

Count me out on the scooters coming out today... vespas and the like.  If I can't straddle it, I'm not riding it.

have to admit that's a fair distinction. how about this?

[Frankenkit]

it needs the big ol' apehanger-ish bars that went on bikes with banana seats.... oh and less red.

If I owned that Vespa I'd need a new tire once a week!
