Interesting. You don't care for "big" but you still prefer the much bulkier Stella over the petite S. I know there are many other reasons for choosing a shifter over a CVT, so don't get defensive. I just find it interesting and curious. FWIW, I love the old Primaveras as well. One of the ladies who works at my moto dealership has one and it's quite stunning.polianarchy wrote:Meh...I don't care for big. I'm so very small, you see. If I were to wish for a scooter, any scooter, it would be an old Vespa Primavera 125ET3...that's running. *le sigh* Barring that, 2008 Stella, plzkthnx. I don't want the Vespa S anymore. It doesn't compare to the Stella, IMHO.
When I had my bike in for service I checked out the new Stellas pretty carefully. My conclusion? If I ever buy a scoot that big, I want it to be more powerful. A 300 GTS might just fit the bill, although I prefer the size of the S.
