Re: Meditations on getting a Vespa
I'm one of those people who really doesn't care what other people think and I loved riding those scooters so much in Europe that I vote yes. They are much easier to use than motorcycles, you can just hop on and off them and in some places you can park them just like bikes. I was thinking about getting one thinking that I wouldn't have to register it and get insurance, but you do and I think you need a motorcycle liscence anyway. After I found that out I figured it wasn't quite as easy so I dropped the idea. One of the best reasons to get it is that you save a crapload on gas.

The Vespa is cool, but too impractical for me.

Re: Meditations on getting a Vespa
also, daryn, if you actually consider getting a ducati, take the safety course and maybe get a cheapo bike to start.
driving the ducati will be like flying a jet. you need to know what you're doing. it will go faster than any car you've ever driven. not to say it can't be pimped around town casually, *ahem TT*, but it is a beast of a machine. also, about 8.5 grand brand new. cheaper than a kia.

Re: Meditations on getting a Vespa
Get a cheap street bike, faster...scooters are like fat chicks, they are fun to ride until your friends see you on one. But, you are def super cool if you are the type of guy who could actually pull it off. I would never be able to, hence the bias.

Honestly, the Japanese bikes are going to be cheaper and more reliable (Suzuki SV650). But the Ducatis sound cool, look cool, and just flat-out are cool. What's not to get?
