Up until the RA the only all steel scooter in production was the Vespa. We can dance until the cows come home over this but when Everybody in the scooter universe is using plastic over steel there is some reason.

I pointed out over at MV that for a mere $3000 a Piaggio Fly 150 has the same engine as a Vespa Sprint or Primavera at $5500. Your Liberty also is powered by the same engine (with a longer case for bigger wheels) at thousands less.

To me the RA is cute but when I can buy something like a Lance Italia Classic for $2300 with a 150cc GY6 like the RA is powered by it doesn't make much sense.

Throw in a comparison like the RA versus the Lance 200i series for a grand less and steel versus tube under plastic seems pretty moot.
