. Well was at my dealer yesterday for a bbq, part of the land of 10k scoot rally.  And low and behold I saw this beast with one of their dealer plates on it.  I guess Royal Alloy is close
to epa approval, this one isn’t for sale though, still has a Great Britain Vin.  Mostly Metal body, not fuel injected, and in my opinion too bad it uses a SYM engine.  But it was a lot bigger then I thought it would be and pretty cool.  Said the target price is somewhere around $3400.

Yes, because I guess the Lambrettas did look sorta like Vespas too. basically an older Lambretta design with a modern twist (also this company is/was being sued by Scomadi, but how a copy company sues another copy company is beyond my pay grade)

Country of origin on this .......um
Scooter?
$3400 ?

Almost $1000 more than a scooter with an actual dealer network behind it.
 Keep the Royals over there, bring back the SH150 Hondas.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I believe it’s China, which yes is questionable for a $3000 plus scooter, but it is a mostly metal body and they are quite popular in Britain.  (Although it’s easy to confuse them with scomadi’s
Which look identical and are made in Taiwan.  So I am not 100 percent sure.  Although if it does use a Sym powertrain I suppose one could get service from any Sym dealer
