400cc+ scooters

[avgas]

In Japan it made a shitload of sense to me.
They were fucken cool.



They had big bores and sounded mean......but were auto so good in quick zips around the block to get the milk/beer/porn.........and were comfy so you felt good in your commute.

I took one for a blat and didn't understand the point of sub 400cc scooters afterwards.

So... Mr OP. Heaps of points. Trade in time eh? The one consolation is that there's heaps of plastic for Eddie decals

The Missus has just got her license, and is making noises about a future Burgman. I know it's probably only going to be used to communting, but it just seems so ....... weak.

To be completely honest, i'd rather just an old banger of a GN, at least I could have some fun on that!

I don't see the point of a 400cc scooter, but the big Burger 650 really impresses me and if my wife liked them I'd probably have got one. However she much prefers the C50T for style! Not complaining, mind, I love the Boulevard myself!

Think of them as a smaller GoldWing tourer...

[Luckylegs]

You seen the size of Gubb?...he would need at least a 650 scooter....

Yeh man, Ive followed his "ginormousness" around a few places, not least of all, all the way to Rotorua IN THE RAIN for charity. I agree he needs something a little more "accomodating" (If you know what I mean).

Big scooters are great, only negative is the riding position, you feel like you are sitting on the shithouse!

Other than that, they are great and really rider friendly.

You might try taking a 650 Bergman on from a standing start, "prepare to be embarrassed" if you do!

I could part with the TDM if I was pressed...it's a little dusty after an excursion to Lakes Selfe and Lyndon today.

I was talking to a WIMA lady at the pink ribbon ride = she has had her scooter up to 200km that is scary fast!

but reluctantly.

I hear Boulevard voices in my head....C50.......C50......C50 or M50.......M50 but tending toward a C version. Off to the dealers in an hour to sort the matter out!!

[Gubb]

Still, being a man of the poeple, i've got my self image to worry about it.

Lets face facts here. They just aren't very cool.

Apart from those mental Japanese ones.

109s can be reasonably priced too

[Gremlin]

I've had a 125 up to 130kph. That was scary too. And yes, it was downhill.

Tell that to my wife!!!!!!!!!!
