No question about it... the morph is absolutely the finest looking/riding scooter in the 250 class. I hope you get many happy miles out of her!

Tom (my mechanic) and I argue all the time about the best looking/riding scooter on the market. He goes with the Vespa GTS 250, I go with the morph, hands down... it is sleek, comfortable and the riding position is absolutely wonderful! Last year we did a ride to Baton Rouge, and one of my friends has a morph. Since I always salivate over it every time I see it, he said, "let's swap" for the ride out. At the time I had the Roketa 250. By the time we got to Baton Rouge, he was ready to die and I was ready to adopt this puppy! It was smooth, comfy, did not react to the cross winds on the bridges, and best of all was the distance it can travel on a tank of gas! When we got to BR, the Roketa was on reserve and the morph was just off full. I think he said it had a 4 gal tank. I have always been a morph/helix fan, I love both of them for the same reasons, but I recently added the CF fashion to the list as well. All three of these machines are the best of the best for overall appearance and handling in my opinion, the morph being #1. I am also a burger fan, but if I had a choice between the burger and the morph, I would choose the morph every time. I also like the roll-on throttle response. We ran into someone doing 55 on the 70mph Interstate and I pulled out left and throttled it. The speedo jumped right up to 75 as I rounded his front bumper - the FI & 4-valve set up is very impressive! The only downfall I see is there are no upgrades!  If you ever get tired of her, you can only go down from there! I have been on the fence for a few months now... a friend of mine owns a Yamaha dealership and has an 08 in the crate in the warehouse. They are NOT popular here, Vespas and cheaper China scooters are, so every time I see him he sees me playing with the one on the floor and he drops the price. The last time he was at $3600 (dealer transfer)! If he goes any lower, I might not be able to resist! -Rich |

Rich, how tall are you? Do you hear any complaints from tall people riding a Morph?

if i may turt,
Even when shrunken little ol' me (5 feet 6 inches) sits on the Morphous, there is a lot of space unoccupied on the front part of the seat. This surprised me because the Morphous looks so long. The seat is low - even lower than the Helix. I have to say that I expected the Morphous would feel "too long" to me, but it didn't. I was able to sit very comfortably with my legs stretched out OR tucked under a bit into a more upright posture. Again, this really surprised me. That being said, a taller person is going to HAVE TO sit fairly far back because the scooter would be too low for them to tuck under. that little back rest can be adjusted further back too. there should be no problemo!
