    this summer, when scooter inventories were bare, I had the chance to purchase a used 2005 Grand Vista immediately. not having ridden any sort of motorcyle or scooter, I have nothing to compare it to, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

    the ride is smooth and comfortable. hanling is easy and responsive. I am getting right about 62 mpg average so my weekly gas bill is about $5.50 :-)

    if the Vespa is the BMW of scoots, the Kymcos are the Toyotas - efficient, less expensive, and just as nice.
