What Other Scooters Do You Have A Crush On?

I had a huge crush on the gts super, but I bought one...so...

Stella 2 tone...
Buddy 170..
Blur 220

All in the genuine family..I had 2 Rattlers and loved em both, but I would love another Genuine to add to the stable.

Would you all consider the Honda CTX700N DCT a scooter…? It makes the rider sit up right with feet in front like a scooter and it's twist and go!

My Buddy 170i is less than a month old… I stopped by a motorcycle dealer to try on some riding jackets and found the CTX700N DCT. I sat on it, liked the feel, height and weight. Now I want one…

No regrets with the Buddy 170i, loving every minute on the scooter… It's faster than I thought it would be…

Maybe the CTX700N DCT is something I will eventually grow into…

The Honda CTX700N, even with the DCT, is still indeed a motorcycle. It ultimately comes down to step-through VS straddle. The Stella is a 4-speed, but it's still a step through scooter. If it was a 4-speed straddle like the SYM Symba, it would be a motorcycle. The Aprilia Mana is an example of a motorcycle that has a CVT automatic. All of that said, the CTX700N is probably the best option for those who are small in stature and are turned off by manual transmissions. I like that bike a lot actually and applaud Honda for reaching out like that. I've been riding manual shift bikes since the beginning, but I'd seriously like a Honda NC700X DCT. Beats the heck out of wearing out the clutch in traffic!

I am guilty of bringing home a Zuma 125 a few days ago. I have a thing for bug eyes. It's manifested in owning an Audi TT and lusting after a 2002-03 Bug Eye WRX.

I may have just seen the scooter for my next road trip. (Unfortunately, I might possibly be serious about needing it.)

Oh, I thought of another one. And i sincerely apologize in advance.

At the risk of starting a flamewar...the TGB Bellavita.

Can't help it, just like it a lot

Holy cannoli, the Bellavita is a rather unabashed knock-off of a Vespa GT/GTS! I suppose the imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, though.

So I like the C3...

Which if you squint enough looks like a ....

Although any Lambretta would do in my book -- as well as a vintage Vespa.

I "Like" this one as well:

And I would love to get one of these:

And of course, there's the difficult choice between these two:
