Scooterotica

Anyone have or had one of these - I suppose it is classed as a scooter by some. Automatic transmission, four cycle engines of 250, 400, or 500 cc I think

What are your impressions? Good, bad, indifferent?

Videos I've seen are interesting.

I had a Gilera Fuoco 500 for 4 years.

Fantastic to ride and reliable and at the time a real head turner. (for whatever reason )

Had an aftermarket variator fitted which transformed the acceleration at the expense of rear tyre wear.

The latest Piaggio's are a lot more refined.
