The Hooligan
Don't see much about the Hooli written here. I have one in Ohio and had to have the engine replaced. I like the scooter, but I have to tell ya, my little 150 in Fl. is running pretty good. I thought there would be more Hooligan owners showing up here.

They compliment each other in many ways. The Vespa is a racehorse. The Hooligan is a working cowboy's horse. For a long ride on a nice day the Vespa fills that niche. If it's a typical butter and eggs run in nasty weather - that's where the Hooligan shines.KrispyKreme wrote:Elder Scoot wrote:I've got one. I'm very pleased with all aspects of the bike.

I must say the GTS and Hooligan you have make a great pair.
I am fortunate to be able to have both.

I test-rode one this past summer. I really liked the size, although the floorboard felt oddly high to me. I only took it around a neighborhood, but it was a BLAST. If i were in the market for an urban assault scooter, this would be it. No competition.Syd wrote:I just saw a Hooligan this past weekend. Size-wise I'm impressed. didn't ride it (too cold), but if the performance is good this may turn into a second scoot.

You're right about the floorboard. I think that is because the gasoline tank is located beneath the floorboard. You're also right about it being an assault scooter. If I had to get out of Dodge in a sticky situation I'd take the Hooligan.ravenlore wrote:I test-rode one this past summer. I really liked the size, although the floorboard felt oddly high to me.
