I've been thinking of this as well. Spent hols in Italy and loads of bikers have scooters for every day use.

I fancy one of the new Vespa's, the latest version.

My bro had the last one and cos it's a metal monocoque it lasted really well (even in Roman traffic!!) In fact a bit of battering adds to the character.

But I also fancy the supercharged Speedfights - would be a lot of fun. But what would mpg be like I wonder?

I still think the superscoots are a bit ott. I mean a 500cc scoot for town?? But havin seen a TMax on a trackday they can be a laff.
