I just picked up a new to me 2007 Piaggio BV250 with 2500 miles. It was raining so badly that I decided not to familiarize myself with a new bike under those conditions. Once around the block and straight to shed. But! Today I ran out for sushi riding up Hwy 37 when I looked down and noticed I was doing 70 mph in a 50mph zone. Only indication I had was that I was passing everything on the road when it dawned on me I must be going pretty fast so I quickly throttled her back. This thing is so quick and stable with those 16" wheels that I'm going to have to be careful not to start racking up serious speeding tickets. It just did not feel like I was going that fast.  |
