So, hey! Not a lot of scootin' news goin' on, here... I missed last night's meetup due to an unpleasant chore, so it's just been pure commuting this week.
Other than
the scoots I mentioned previously (most of which I also have seen this week), I saw some more while commuting and/or out in the work truck, this week.
One early morning, I caught one of these with the rider giving me "the wave" on Stones River Road:
 |
| Vespa GTS250 |
Then, today, while I was driving the work truck from inspection to inspection, I spotted two Kymcos (a brand I hardly ever see out there):
 |
| Kymco People S 200 |
Yeah, I know... fugly (sorta like
my own Bad Penny, but even
uglier, IMO). Kymco didn't make a
sexy People until the 2012 GTi models came out.
Later today, I saw my first-ever Yager in the wild:
 |
| Kymco Yager GT200i (well, ~170cc) |
That one's also got the typical "love-it-or-hate-it" styling for which Kymco is famous. Maybe the styling (and the names...!) make more sense in Taiwan.
Then, on the commute home tonight, the old standby:
 |
| SYM Fiddle II 125cc (in appealing eye-shadow frost green) |
Well, that's all I have for now. Keep ridin', and stay frosty!
My friend with a Riva 180 is buying a Yager, It's appealing to him he feels it's got a few nods to the Riva in it's looks.
ReplyDeleteIt also has small wheels and a flat floor which are two things he wants in a scooter.
A flat floorboard is damned handy, especially if you have cats. Hauling cat litter can be especially tricky on the PCX. :)
