You're preaching to the choir in regards to 2-strokes! I've got a '69
Vespa!

I just bought a 2004 Honda Reflex that belonged to a 72-year-old man who
decided it was too big for his weak knees. It had 1900 miles on it! I
bought it from the local Vespa-Big Dog motorcycle dealer. All the new
Vespas are all 4-stroke, as is my 250cc Reflex, which is water cooled and
the Reflex owners on the net say is extremely reliable with its V-matic
crazy continuously-variable transmission. My first tank driving it like
I stole it in the city traffic got 72.8 MPG on a 250CC engine!

It's mid 90's in Charleston. The BEST feature of the Reflex is all the
heat comes out the BACK of it....even at a traffic light! There's no
feeling of engine heat wafting around you at all. Too bad that doesn't
include ASPHAULT heat...(c;

I'm afraid the new Vespa is quite an improvement over yours. I rode the
two biggest models before buying this Reflex. Though not as smooth and
quiet as the Reflex's full-enclosed drive train, they are really nice
scooters, too......$US6000 OUCH!

Mine's red, too... Even the Hooter's girls wanted a ride!
