...the ppl is just another whole breed of scoot..

..only on the longest steepest hills will it slow down to the level of an a50...

..and lots of times, it'll "shift" and begin to accelerate even after encountering a good incline...

..they're just frikin awesome...

..i usually rode my agility in a "sport-bike" posture..leaned fully forward, with my left arm across the instruments..feet on the passenger footrests..to reduce wind drag...

..it really makes a difference....

..especially up-hill, but even on the flats when the wind wasn't in my favor...

..i can sit up and be somebody on the ppl !!!...

You'll be able to outrun her since she'll be on my 4T!

Yep, I would definitely be looking used - but they are hard to find at this point.

But not hurry - I have no idea where I'd put it.  There's a no scoots in the house policy around here

You know, I have a friend who is talking about getting a scoot to commute to the Metro station like I do.  

He's also thinking that he needs to start with something easy to handle - which is the same thinking I had when I purchased the agility 2 years ago.

Soooo - maybe I should see if I can sell him my agility and take a step up?

This just isn't a big scooting area.  Don't know why.

This is probably also why I can't find a dealer or service center anywhere near me.

 Ha! turning you into a 2t guy  :o Thats the way I felt jumping on a people after riding a vino 125 for awhile.
  I think the s9 has a different air intake and reeds. I got one on the shelf havn't got around to putting it on yet!
  Been busy with anything but scoots lately. I'll be back at it soon though.
  You put the 2001 pipe on it yet  :D
