BMW makes one and it looks just like all the others yet costs a lot more. I love over seeing fellow scooter riders in san diego. We need to get them on here! Is there a site lic  |

And the Beamer has a bunch of equipment. I don't know how well the burgers are equiped tho. Value for money? hmmmm hard to say, that depends. I think I'd opt for a big motorcycle for the money, but, alot of people don't want to deal with a big bike, and I don't blame 'em.

Those are toys compared to the Aprilia SRV 850:
Here is how it accelerates from 100 mph to OH WOW! (136 mph):

I wonder what the little flashing green light was telling him? "Hey jack, you're kinda sorta speeding there!"? So rocky,  is your 250 starting to feel a bit too little for you? >'Kat |

What I'd most like to know is why there's two versions of what's pretty much the same scooter? Same exact specs from engine size to tires, 'til you get to size itself. The "650" GT is a few inches bigger all around, and a few pounds heavier, than the "600" Sport. Both of which are the same 647cc. Huh?   >'Kat |

So rocky, is your 250 starting to feel a bit too little for you? >'Kat Not really but closing in on 25,000 miles and Aprilia is not bringing any more 250 or 300 cc scooters to the US any more so I am keeping my eye open for what to aim for next and really wish they were not treating the US like a bunch of red headed step children who are now only allowed 50cc scooters to ride. Lets face it won't take much longer to be closing in on 50,000 miles. The Aprilia 250 does perform very well even compared to 600cc Sport Bikes I am not sure that a Burgman 400 or 650 would be that much of an upgrade while the current King, the Aprilia 850 SRV 850, would be quite a leap. You can even put a 1,000 cc cylinder kit on it if the 850 proves to be a bit too tame. At the Scooter Cannonball this year it was a Sport City 250 that placed third and that was because the rider had gone to Dr. Pully sliders that were 21mm tall instead of 20mm so he rode the belt too high out of the variator and damaged the gasket on his oil sump which required him to baby it to the next stop clean up the mess, replace the sump gasket, belt and to 20mm sliders instead. Without that incident he may have come in at 1st or 2nd place. Anyways dreams are like Wine and its better that drinking the KoolAid (Jimmy Jones proved that). |
