Yeah, I was surprised when she said that.  I got my Kymco home today and she immediately sat on it.  She even loved the color.  Red isn't my favorite color.

Went for a 45 mile ride this morning. The thing purred like a kitten. I haven't had so much fun in ages. I got it up to an indicated 50 MPH pretty easily. I'm hooked now.

Now I'm going to look for a 2nd scooter, same style but larger motor.

BTW Draco, soap and water don't get scooter smiles off your face. It's like removing tatoos!!!!!

Those are all big scooters -- I may be looking for one of those now that I've caught the bug . . .    8)

Where do you want to ride a bigger scooter, and cruise at what speed?
Suggestions will come based on your wants.
When you say same style scooter, do you mean a step thru chassis?
If so, a Vespa 300 might do you....

Welcome from another SW scooter rider.  I've been riding motorcycles for over 38 years.  I bought my first scooter about 7 1/2 years ago.  I still have it.  It's a Kymco Super 8 150  and I have ridden over 31,000 miles on it.  I also have a 400cc scooter and two motorcycles but the little Kymco is the one I ride the most often.  Small scooters are just plain silly fun.  I have also taken mine to the mountains, ridden Deal's Gap and even done a 5 day tour.  Bigger isn't always better.  Enjoy your scooter(s)

Yamaha Majesty.  It's a 2012 that I bought new at a big discount in 2015.
