Sportique sold me a 150 cc Genuine Buddy Pamplona recently, and they were great. No haggling on prices, a great OTD price and they threw in goodies! They also have a great service department and they host a lot of special activities for scoot heads. Seriously, I can't say enough good about Sportique. sportiquescooters.com/ |

Sportique is a great shop but every time i went there to possibly buy a scooter, they wanted about $400-500 over MSRP! I walked away every time. They told me I would be back as there aren't any other scooter-only dealers in town anymore. I told them I would just order one online and they laughed and said,"Good Luck! We don't work on Chinese crap!".
Needless to say, I ordered my Lance and paid less than half for what they wanted for a 150cc.
I did eventually get a chance to speak with one of the owners. He offered to cut me a deal, but it was already too late.
Overall though they have been great at promoting scooter use around not just Denver/Boulder/Colorado Springs but also nationwide. If I had to recommend a specific location - the one near/off of I-25 (the old gas station one) had nicer sales staff. The Englewood one is full of pompous pr!cks, well maybe not full - just one at least.
One word of warning - a friend of mine had her Honda Metropolitan serviced there last year. She went back this year to have it serviced again. They told her, her air filter was missing. So either they forgot to put one back on last year or it's never had one to begin with! Still either way - it should of been caught.
Curious as to what you ended up paying for your Pamplona, as I was looking at them there.

I was at the Englewood location too, though they were nice to me.
The Italia I was looking at was $3400, way above MSRP. They say they don't charge dealer handling fees. Well they just roll those fees into the price! With tax it wold have been $3600+. I paid less than that for my car. And it's a Mercedes.
Yeah, they are good scooters and good people with a good reputation, but I don't like anyone that knocks other brands because they are the not the top end.
Heck, every car on the road isn't a MB or a Lexus. Some people drive Kias.
And to not work on ChiScoots is just ridiculous!

Their excuse for not working on Chinese scoots is "parts are hard to get". That's a bunch of baloney!
If you check out one of the Fly scooter videos (might be the MRP video - don't remember for sure) on YouTube, Adam/Sportique is in it. You can even hear him state that in the video as being the problem with Chinese scooters. Yet they sell & love Vespas! I have a couple of Vespa riding friends, who all have had to wait months to get parts.
