What Other Scooters Do You Have A Crush On?

Post by Rusty Shackleford »

We all have a genuine appreciation for our scooters (PUN intended), but we're human. Sometimes we're attracted to other bikes... and that's normal. So the question is this: What other scooters do you have a crush on? Furthermore, what makes you attracted to them? Go ahead, Ms Stella won't mind (PUN also intended). Infatuation sometimes comes and goes in a Blur (yet another PUN intended) but your scooter will always be your buddy (OMG make the PUNs stop).

Like plenty of you folks, I'm a big fan of highway power without going full-on maxi-scooter. Local use of the interstate is sometimes very convenient, so it's nice to be capable of it. All though not as big of a share of the market, there's a few scooters available that meet the need... and I would own if money were no object.

1. Vespa GTS
Image

2.Aprilia Scarabeo
Image

3. Genuine Blur

What say you? What other scooters besides the one(s) you own do you find yourself Googling late at night?

The shop I was at last Saturday sells Vespa, bv350 and Kymco. The Vespa had the best seat by far. The people gti300 came home with me . Just gotta scoot gave it great reviews after 150 miles I love it well except the exhaust sound on take off its very go cartish. Money no object would of come with the Vespa 300 sport in satin black and a Motto Guzzie v7 racer may e some day.

That's easy. I have always wanted a vintage Slimline Lambretta: TV 175 or 150.

That TV is sweet!!! I'm also crushing on the 946 but NOT the price....(In other words, it ain't happening)...

Before I changed my mind and bought a Buddy, I had decided to buy a Yamaha C3; it was listed by name on my financial-planning spreadsheet and everything. Yeah, it looks a bit odd – which I secretly love, deep down – but with all that storage space, it's so darn practical.
Image

On the other hand, there's something I like about the Honda Super Cub; for some reason I feel like I'd meet the nicest people riding one. Arguably not a "scooter", but what's in a name? Of course it is the anti-C3, lacking any enclosed storage whatsoever.
Image

Which brings me to the Honda Ruckus, another oddball in appearance, with storage space... but not enclosed.
Image

In the end, I went with the more conventional design of the Buddy, and I'm happy as can be with him, largely because he's a conventional scooter. But from time to time late at night, these bad boys call out to me.....

That C3 has a neato Cushman/Topper/Refrigerator vibe to it. I dig it.

:lol: for me to susinctfully answer,this thread could be better titled, "which scooters DON'T I crush on?" I love all of the above. Of course I love my new Helix-the boxy, pointy -nosed monster is a dream. I think I like my scooters really really pretty, interesting/quirky or UGLY. Butt ugly, not just unimaginatively ugly (kymco, hang your head in shame)

The C3 is a pretty kick-ass scoot. Just wish it wasn't so tiny with only a 50cc engine. I mean, don't go sticking some 250 or something obscene in it, but a 110-125 would of been great!

My heart will always be for a sliver P-series. I even had one for a brief while, but needs have changed. Now I spend more in audio gear than I ever will a scooter simply because I don't have the time or the space. But, with my getting a studio, the space issue could be changing...

I've heard it called "ugly" but I like the mid-size Kymco Yager 200i (1) for it's weight (300 lbs.), (2) generous 2.9 gal. fuel tank size for a 174cc engine (Buddy, hang your head in shame) and (3) fuel injected engine. I sat on one today, a 2010 with 1,800 miles, and it just felt right. A Kymco Like 200i was parked next to it so I had to sit on it for comparison's sake. It didn't feel right. So, my current crush is the Kymco Yager 200i. Did I think it looked "ugly"? No way. It does look a bit different but it's a look I could definitely live with. "Interesting/quirky" maybe but definitely not "ugly". It would definitely complement my retro-looking 2012 Buddy 170i Italia.

I love my 2012 Yager. It's very capable and punches above its weight. The only things I would change would be to swap on a 4V head for handling the higher RPMs and lengthen the final drive about 7-10%. Then it would be perfect.

Hmm, tough one. I'm kinda in Peabody's boat on this.

I'd take one of each of Yamaha's '80s line-up. Already have the Riva 80, 125 and 180. I'd also like a first year Zuma with the solo saddle.

From Honda, I'd take an '86 Elite 150D in blue with a crash bar set (and retrofit an '87 Elite 150 brake pedal), an '85 Elite 250, a Beat 50, a Gyro UP and an Indian-market Eterno.

I'd have a Suzuki Gemma, just for those Akira wannabe moments. And an FZ50 Rascal.

From Piaggio, I'd take an MP3 City,a Vespa GT200L and a S150 Sport SE. I'll also take a Grand Lusso, a Douglas "Rod" model , a PK125ETS and one of the prototype T5's with mechanical fuel injection.

Lambretta, I'll take a Luna 75, a J125 Starscream, an LD150 and one of the "Winter Warmer" Servetas that seemed to be made from both Series 2 and Series 3 parts.

I'd have a Heinkel Tourist, an NSU Prima and a Fuji Rabbit. A Triumph Tigress 175 and a Cezeta 501. Finally, since I'm shooting the moon, a Terrot VMS1.

How's that for a pipe dreamin'?

With the addition of my Buddy 170i to the stable (I am extremely pleased
with the 170i) there is little that I wish for---at the moment. :lol: However,
PGO makes a 150cc trike that is not available in this country, popular in
Europe, but trikes dont find much demand here. If it were available I
would break my piggy bank to get one. :wink:

Stella and the Kymco Like 200i.

Stella so much that once AutoStella makes it to the US I'm going to have a really hard time reminding myself that a renter really can't house more than one scoot in addition to the car. (and that I don't NEED more than one scoot in addition to the car)

Rusty's choices mirror my own, hence why I got the Scarabeo :P.

I'd love a gts300, but I'd have to win the lotto to justify it.

One of the automatic honda motorcycles too..mmmm.

the C3 seems like such a good friend. There was a red one for sale locally and I almost jumped on it, then I thought...what would I do with it?

Also wouldn't mind some crazy old or odd vintage machine.

I like a lot of different scooters....but I'm really partial to the old Vespa's, and Lambretta, all the old classic stuff cause that's what I grew up with. I like vintage things, especially bikes and scooters.. I'm just an Old, Old school guy... Guess that's why I like the Genuine Stella so much... But in one way or the other, they are all cool...

I really liked the C3...until I showed it to my wife and she said "it looks like you'd be sitting on a baby coffin" and I was done with it. Now every time I see one, I have "baby coffin" stuck in my head. Sorry if that ruins it for anyone else...

Anyway, I like the look of the Ruckus and also the Yamaha Zuma 125. I like the "off-road" tires and the sporty/rugged looks of them. I don't think I'd ever get the Ruckus as everything I've read says they're slow, but I could see myself on the fuel-injected Zuma 125.

Part of the reason I chose the Stella (a VERY tiny part of the reason) was that to me, a lot of scooter seats look like toilets. Not toilet seats; like an entire toilet. I am very sorry if anyone else cannot "unsee" it. :lol:

The best-looking scooter seats to me are IMO on the Stella and the Vespas.

I love the look of the old-fashioned version of the Kymco People 250. The seat is only slightly toilet-like (very slightly), and in the silvery/golden color, it looks just like something right out of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis". If they still made it, I probably would have picked it over the Stella, as it was freeway-capable.

I never rode one, but I would love to if I ever got the chance.

With a few vintage exceptions, that is an advantage of scooters over many other vehicles. If I have a serious crush on a scooter, then I end up owning it :wink: . For me, the biggest exception are those great 1950s cruising scooters such as the Zundapp Bella, Fuji Rabbit, Honda Juno and the like. Hard (and expensive) to find good runners.

Did you meet a bunch of MBers there? I know about a half dozen others that went. Looked so much fun, I'm seriously considering doing it next year.

Ericalm - Really enjoyed myself. Got so many ideas for my next scoot. Perfect location and weather, and I hope to stay the whole weekend next year. Will be great to see you if you come out this way.

Vespa GTV - Love that seat and the fender mounted headlight!

Piaggio MP3 - Oh God, the storage! Someone showed up to the rally last weekend on one of these and all I could do was ogle it.

My dream-scoot has been the Big Ruckus for several years now.

I'd happily settle with a 4T Stella though. The MPGs (even if the obviously over-exaggerated claimed MPG is laughable) is pretty tempting. Also, the style = sexy/classy.

Blurring the lines between scoot and cycle:

First motorized 2 wheeler I ever rode/drove was a Honda CB125 that my dad had gotten from somewhere back in the late 70's, and since then I have always wanted to have "that" bike again. Not too large, plenty of fun, simple plain ol' motorcycle... And that is what the SYM Wolf Classic 150 looks like. I'll be keeping an eye out for a deal on one of those. :)

Actually that looks like the stock seat :wink: . It does this weird and wonderful thing where the back half is hinged so it can be raised into that alternate position.
