It has been 18 days since I've bought the scooter brand new. I've placed 1,003 miles on it already. Not really any joy riding miles at all. Strictly errands and work commuting. In 18 days, I've saved over $92.00 in gas. Average MPG during this time is 77.5mpg.
I've saved more money considering my wife went from using our mini van (18mpg) to using the sedan I used to use for commuting (27mpg); but I'm too lazy and lack too much information to figure that out!
I never thought I would enjoy a scooter. Work on the weekends were looked at as a P.I.A.! Now I look forward to it because I can ride the Yager the 2-hour round trip.
I've owned other bikes - Harley, Boulevard, etc. Besides gas mileage, the Yager's suspension feels superior to anything I've ridden before. As well, the seat comfort is light years ahead of my old Harley, and is steps ahead from the comfort of my Boulevard. I find that I'm enjoying rides more now. I can pay attention to the road, relax, and peak at the snow-capped mountains as I'm running through some twisties.
Truthfully, this is the type of riding that I always wanted. So how did I get to this point? I went through several motorcycles trying to find that perfect ride. I'd buy one and ride it for a bit, and then it would collect dust.
Little did I know that this little 175cc Yager is what I've been looking for all along.
It's a wonderful thing to finally be able to ride and enjoy the experience like you always imagined. Just goes to show that sometimes we need to think outside the box, and the stereotypical norms of our areas.
