Thanks! Had to update my browser, would not let me post pics for the longest. My wife loves it, thats what matters. She just broke it in, i like changing the gear and engine oil at 300 km, the manual says 300km for the engine oil on first change... but i like doing both, so i dont forget about it. Ill post a ride vid in a few days |

 I hope this works, its a pic of the scoot. Cleaned by yours truly  I like just about everything I see here... Yup! ... Especially the tires. I actually had a rear street/off-road tire similar to that on my old chopper! The look is mega-aggressive yet smooth enough on the road. The headlights, mirrors/hand-guards and turn-signals are "cosmetic perfection" too. The stylists got this scoot right! If it rides as good as it looks, it will be a winner! Have many happy miles! And, ride safe!Leo in Texas |

I almost forgot to mention.... im 6"1... so for my wife... the mirrors Re perfect... for me... a little low... so if they were an inch higher, it would be perf for us both. But yes the styling is awesome, a ruggedness that my wife likes..

I'm your same height, and long-waisted with short legs, so I understand about the mirrors... I was really surprised when I first got on my Kymco and looked for the mirrors... Duh... They fold out electrically (for LANE-SPLITTING according to the manual...). I will NEVER ride SO close to vehicles that I have to fold my mirrors... CHEESH! I do believe the Taiwanese are more adventurous than I am.
I fold 'em to maneuver into tight parking places, but NO lane-splitting for this old geezer...But it's WHERE they are that got me. They're down at "knee-level". Now THAT took some getting used to. But once adjusted, they work fine. Just in a weird place. The placement must have been done by a crotch-rocket jockey used to having his nose on the gas-tank, and his handlebars down at the front axle... Trust me, you can get used to anything... Well, almost anything. I'll never get used to politics... LOL! Ride safe! Leo in Texas |

Here's what I remember about Baccio scooters. Several years ago we had a member here named Automotoguy. Luke eventually chased him off. In addition to the Automoto he had a Baccio that he used daily. Living in Georgia he rode about 100 miles a day commuting and running errands. This video is of his Baccio 150.
"I sold this about a year ago with 30,000 on it and it still ran fine. I think as long as you care for it and don't run it wide open all the time it will probably last as long as you want to keep it."
His Automoto has stratospheric mileage on it.

Oh, you know how less informed people say Chinese scooters don't last. Yeah I don't ride mine much anymore as its got 70,000 on it now and things are needing done. Some stuff is almost impossible to get now that AutoMoto has gone out of business  |

My favorite comment of Patrick's.
After owning an Aprilia motorcycle for a short time I'll never buy another Italian made vehicle again.
