Im truely suprised I didnt get ripped apart for buying a scooter.
As far as the scooter goes, its a Piaggio Vespa LX150, 150cc. Does 59mph as someone noted already, though I have already seen 60mph on the dial. This bad boy wont see the highway, just too much too worry about. They MSRP at $4199 however I received a few hundred off for the color I picked. The red, light blues and plums are the "hot" colors that go at full price. Main reason for getting this is to commute to work and just have a little fun without [knock on wood] killing myself. If all goes well and I get bored of this I can seem myself getting a Ducati Monster.
A couple friends just got scooters too so we are in the myst of becoming a scooter gang. He11s yes. Ill post a sweet pic in a bit.

The thought of picking up a scooter to save on gas has crossed my mind, but living deep in the snowbelt, it just seems like I would only be able to use it a small portion of the year. Congrats on the Vespa though!

Anyone remember the Monty Python skit where they had a gang on scooters?

This is true. However, this first "bike" was purchased purely as a fun, economic way to commute. This sucker gets 70-80mpg and insurance is less than what a motorcycle would be.
