Was never going to get a Vespa. Too expensive. Got a Kymco Agility 125. Love it so far!
For the reliability (Kymco is contracted by Honda to make some of their scooters, they have that high a quality, Vespa and Piaggio is Italian, I will let you do the math), the 2 years warranty (Piaggio is 1), the dealer support (Houston has 2 area Kymco dealers and others that service Kymco models) and a starting price HALF of what the Vespa is.
I wasn't going for styling, I was going for function. I got more storage space, more power, higher gas mileage all for less than half the price ($1799 vs. $4499). Seemed like a no brainer to me.
Should have gone with the 'priller though.
Then we could've been clubmates
If they didn't raise the price 20% a week before I was going to buy it, I would have
The seat is really high, too, so I am at an eye level higher than SUV driver's seats

DSG + ABS + 70mpg for under $10K
I'm sure your 233lb scooter is more forgiving of mistakes than my 650lb bike. I put my foot down one time in a pot hole at a light and thought I almost broke my hip when I caught the bike starting to tip.

Otherwise, it looks tons better than the last iteration.

Well since I will be riding in stop and go traffic the majority of the time, I wanted an auto. I could still get the Aprilia Mana, though, and be in the cool crowd
