You know Neil, I found with my Forza that new OEM Honda scooter panels were not at all crazily expensive.
At the time this was true for the Forza and the PCX models.
Wonder how much it would cost for a couple of those yellow panels up front here......

Interesting isn’t it, that even the most artistically acclaimed adverts still sometimes don’t shift the units?
It’s been asked here dozens of times, but why are scooters not more appreciated in the ’States?

Neil, that would require a deep dive into the psyche of the average 'Murican...a place you don't want to go! 8)

Absolutely! - it is not possible to convince American youngsters that scooters are cool.
That just isn't going to happen - ever!
And it's a darn shame because the major manufacturers have very little reason to expand their line here.
You'll notice who's buying them here - and who's upset about the lack of models.
It isn't the younger American riders!
I've always thought we were lucky to have any quality scooters for sale in this country.....and it takes the likes of Honda to put any effort into supporting them with their Power Seller Honda dealerships. It's 50 miles to a Vespa dealer - but I've 2 Power Seller Honda dealerships nearby. And for most of America, Kymcos are sold out the side door of multi-brand dealerships.
Motorcycles are a whole different matter!

it looks great but as you said before, Americans don't embrace the scooter culture. too bad, I think they don't know what they're missing.
