Reliable 125cc Scooter

[Linford]

You're looking at it all wrong.....you should be looking at the fun part of motorbike ownership, not how much you can save. If I were a tightwad and originally gone for a BSO instead of my roadie, I'd have lost interest in the first week of ownership (well have been there and done that on other bikes before anyhow)

I look at the fuel gauge of all the cars I've ever owned, and scrutinised the amount of fuel burnt by each one, but I've never ever done this with a motorbike...funny that

I agree with Linford, but if you have no interest in the scoot other than as a means of cheap transportation, then the Honda make sense, it'll likely be 100% problem free.

I've had a lot of Vespa's, mainly PX's never lost a penny on any, made money on most, however, I've never owned a new one. I reckon I could buy a problem free, but perhaps cosmetically challenged, PX for less than £1k and not lose any money on it, ever.

Think about it.

[QUOTE 2825086, member: 45"]Maybe one day. But for now I just need something cheap and reliable to get me around. Twist and goes don't have the look of proper scooters but they're still fun.[/quote]

LML do automatic twist and goes and definitely look the part...................I'd like one.

[QUOTE 2825110, member: 45"]Yeah I've seen that. Despite their website being atrocious.[/quote]

Reviews seem to be pretty good, I'd like a ride on one. My LML geared 4 stroke has been great similar to the Honda MPG but...................it's not a Vespa. If this had been out I'd have bought one, best of both worlds for me, modern automatic engine but with classic styling.

The 2 Yamaha's I owned were faultless, but I never ever got any pleasure from them.
