What it lacks in 'classic' styling it makes up for in being pretty awesome.

12" tires and dual discs sound awesome.

If I were to be buying something similar to my Buddy right now, it would be a contender for sure.

I like it. I hope its price is good. I will buy one if it is.

You can get more stability out of 12-inch tires. The Vespa 300 for example goes 80+ mph just fine on 12-inch tires. To me that is key. 10-in tires just do not cut it for faster riding. I also like it. I am hoping it will do 70 mph. If so, I may get one. I wonder if it will be air cooled or have a radiator?

You can bet it will be air-cooled and "oil cooled", as it will have an oil cooler like the Buddy 170i. No radiator. (Same engine is used, but transmission parts may be a bit different.)

$3299 or $3399. Fairly competitive considering the specs and features.

While I've never had a problem hooking my bungees under either of my scoots, those dedicated hooks are pretty awesome. I love it when the simplest of design changes make something much more user friendly.

I use the grocery hook on my Roughhouse a lot. Is there still one of those?
