Angela, those are EXACTLY the kinds of questions this thread is for! N00bs of the scooterverse, fear no shame. Right? Right!

Okeh, here goes:

No clue RE the VBB comparison. Anyone? Bueller?

I have heard that a scooter clutch needs to be broken in, yes.

You will learn to become mechanical, dude. I am learning! It is good that we are surrounded by mechanically-minded folks. Also, books help. I picked up the Haynes manual for the Vespa P-series, and I'm eagerly hunting for other titles.

Thanks. I have been doing tons of reading. I can say since I started this scooter journey last year I have learned a lot.

I think I will cool my jets and see if the CA legal one comes as planned. I am just so in love with the Stellas and want to shift.

I would like it in this color please
