I like seeing a real evaluation of a scooter by the Pros.

Too bad we can't get one in the U.S.. Considering some of the ridiculous pollution devices the Sinos put on their scooters to get them across the EPA wall, it makes me a bit of a conspiracy theorist. Also, why can't we get a decent magazine for scooters to do these articles? Maybe I haven't heard of one that is around but the only one I'm aware of is that nose up in the air Japanese foil on the left coast. Rich

Now Rich, Cycle World does evals on scooters too.

They also did one on the SH 150i too, let me see if I can find it.

after reading that last report on morph/vespa if I was in the market and my loan approved it would be an easy decision to go vespa. even the pictures make the morph look uncomfortable for a 6' guy. john

KZ,

Those were really good reviews. Insight with out a prejudge-mental attitude. I like it when the writer gives all sides, good, bad and other wise instead of the same old "It's a Vespa, what more needs to be said" crap.
While I was at the first link I saw a really good review on the Sachs MadAss as well.

Did anyone else notice the dude in the tuxedo cresting the hill? Looks like the front tire is going for air. That was me heading for BBQ at the Dinosaur. ;D I always wear a tux for quick errands.

Thanks, added site to favs for further reviews.

I've ridden my friend's Vespa LX150. It had plenty of zip and seemed to handle well but I felt like it was tiny compared to the Xpeed.

I had their food at a catered party in Rochester once. I've got to take a bike ride up and experience the ambiance of the place with my leather jacket after a long, dusty, bug covered trip.
