ummm...11, but only two at present.
Genuine Buddy 150, Vespa GTS 250ie, Yama Vino 125, Honda Met 50, 2 Yama C3s, Yama Zuma 125 (kitted), Honda PS250 Big Ruckus, Tomos ST (almost a scooter), Vino 49 Classic, Honda PCX150. The PCX150 is still in break-in; fast, corners very well. All-around "best"? Honda Big Ruckus, with JCosta variator and up-jet. Lamentably sold to meet a financial crisis. Never learned to love the Vespa, though it was powerful, smooth, and well-built; just not a good fit for me. Best 49? Wife's 2013 Vino Classic. LC, EFI; accleration is fantastic for a 4T 49. |

The '12 Vino Classic accelerates amazingly well - much more quickly than the carbed '09 Met she had before, and even faster than the C3 (which ostensibly has the same engine/drive train)...but this one has not been derestricted, and the restricter washer holds the top end right at 36mph. It just gets there real quickly, even with me aboard (5' 11", 185lbs), and handles hilly local streets more ably. MPG? Haven't really paid attention so far...
That washer will come off at the first service when my wife finishes getting the break-in miles (and thus has more riding experience). I expect that it'll top out around 43/4-something then. Cycles/bikes...'64 C110 Super Cub, '68 C77 305, '08 Rebel, '06 VT750CB, '06 DR-Z400SM...all gone now |
