I'm new to PTWs and to scooters and recently purchased a Piaggio BV350, which is a newly-designed scooter with an all-new, 330 cc engine that produces 32.8 horsepower in a 300-sized scooter. One can easily cruise 70 mph, and possibly 75, but I go about 62 on my daily commute along state highways and have achieved slightly better than 70 mpg so far, so I'm real happy with my choice.
I've been posting and learning over at the Modern Vespa Forum, but I started feeling some tension over there from some senior, active members that own Vespa scooters who seem to have a slight attitude towards big-wheel and/or non Vespa-branded owners.
Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try over here. I've not seen a single post about a European brand but that's okay. These machines and our experiences all have a lot in common and it seems as though everyone is truly welcome over here.
