Advantages: very cool and sexy

Disadvantages: small storage compartment

This is definitely a good looking scooter, its supposed to be a personal re-working of the classic Vespa design. I have mine in bright orange, which really makes it glow when the sun is out, though I really would prefer a metal body to a plastic one, even though visually there is no difference.
The seat is comfortable and a pleasure to ride, the front is fitted with anti-dive breaking which means it doesn't interupt your enjoyment when you break suddenly.
I ride a 50cc, which comes legally restricted at 30mph, but once de-restricted it has no problems getting to 50mph, though it can complain a little with a steep incline. In the city it is surprisingly nippy, making little work of traffic jams.
My only real compaint is that the storage compartment doesn't fit a full face helmet, only a jet helmet, but depends what you really are willing to put up with (I don't mind carrying my head gear)
Its definitely a scooter to look cool on, and the Aprillia engine is just asking for punishment!!
