Myself being a jazz/blues musician, someone who says "Dig it" makes me feel right at home...

Thanks,

Didn't get a test ride yet. (didn't have time)
But I did get a chance to sit on a Blur this past weekend.
The quality, fit and finish was outstanding! I am in love with the saddle.
Very firm and comfortable. Lots of leg room for those of us with long inseams. :) Loads of under seat storage. Didn't test it out. But appears to be more than enough room for a full face helmet. The under seat light was a nice touch too.

The lack of a step though might take getting used to. Really have to throw your leg over like on a motorcycle. Which might be hard if you add a top box. But I loved it! The Blur is definitely on my short list of scooters :)

It's a loaner and it's supposed to be waiting for me in Portland when I get there the end of this week. Then we're going to take a short coast-to-coast test ride... :wink:

That'll be one hell of a ride, I think.

I was really impressed with the Blur, and like Ellen, I didn't even get to ride one. :D

That sounds great. At 6'3" I'm a bit on the tall side for many scooters.

Ah, I hear you about this. I'm a little too un-limber to throw my leg over a top-case. I guess I'll resort to a clumsy-looking piece of motorcycle yoga I used to do with my BMW as follows: Stand to left of bike. Grab right foot with both hands while doing "the stork" on the left leg. Pull right foot up in air, over the seat, and drop on right side of bike. SN\neak glance over should to see if anybody witnessed this silly lttle dance. YRMV. :wink:
