Saw it, sat on it , and everything... man is it nice. Nice job Genuine!

Yup. I saw it too.

Gotta say, some folks said the fit & finish looks a bit better than the 2T and I kind of have to agree. Then again, I've only seen used 2Ts and none of the later Stellas from post-strike LML…

But I LOVE it.

I'm debating going to the shindig in San Fran this Saturday... I'd really like to examine and sit on a Stella, to see how it fits. Yeah, I know, I've pretty much set my heart on a SYM Symba, but, the idea of a new, four-stroke P-Series style scoot does appeal.

You knew we would ask,did you get pics? I know we all know what it looks like but still there's just something about pics.

Spoiler alert: It's bandwidth. Knowing that someone is spending bandwidth on you makes you feel special. And you should... we don't take these pictures for the hell of it!

If you like the Symba, check out the Fly Scout due out next month.

Easy dude.I would agree with you if 95% of the pics here wernt for viewing pleasure but thats what they are.We have untold amounts of pics of the same scooter here don't we.If this forum is eating up to much bandwidth due to pics please alert everyone thru a notice. I don't appreciate being singled out.Finally taking pics for the hell of it,is exactly what we do especially in the gallery.

How does the Fly Scout look and stack up vs Honda and Sym?

Here's the pic of how it arrived at NoHo.


I also have a shot if it in the parking lot, but it was almost dark by then so it's not as good.

Double easy, dude. Lostmycage was joking. More proof that we need a [sacasm] tag for the Interwebs.
More smiley faces!

The Fly actually looks more like a Supercub. It comes with all the quality, level of service, dealer support and manufacturer's reputation one can expect from Fly. (More sarcasm! Take that as you will!)

Also, I think the Scout may be a full CVT and not a foot shifter like the Supercub and Symba. If so, that would automatically make it 80% less fun. Maybe 83%.

I was joking... If bandwidth were an issue, we wouldn't have a gallery sub-forum, as you said.

Think happy thoughts or something... Puppies? Stellas new and old?

(edited to add:) Also, the main reason I clicked on the thread was to see pics.

I saw one at metro scooter this last Saturday. They were one of the lucky dealers to get one, there's only 5 in the country so far. Fit and finish wise it is slightllly nicer than the regular stella. The only things that caught my eyes was the slits cut into the engine cover cowl. Another major difference is the star shaped rims similar to the 2005 vespa px150's. I prefer the old round solid rims on the 2 strokes myself though.

If I were to get a new bike (Although I'm not looking for one now) I would get the Blur 220 over the new stella. The features and styling of the blur are just too sharp to pass up even though the stella really is a beautiful bike. If the blur wasnt making a comeback, I would be eyeing the 4 stroke stella. But like I said, not looking to buy one, and I dont have the money either.

Fly Scout is 110 cc and $1800.00
Sym Symba 101 cc and $2600.00

You can see it at the shop, or at the NoHo BBQ on April 3rd.

Oh yeah, I rode it home last night and its frickin sweet!

Yes, heard of it, even saw pictures of it a while back... but it's Chinese. Though the company does seem to have the right heart, from what I've read, I have no idea where a Fly dealer is in my area, while I do have a good relationship with my local SYM dealer... friendly and helpful, even though I haven't bought a scooter from them. Yet.
