post pictures of your favorite weird scooter, and the reason why it attracts you so much.

ive always been attracted to weird square blocky vehicles, my favorite car is a Volkswagen thing, i used to really like the 80s Honda elites for their super 80's triangular front end, that was until i found this guy.

look at that thing, its soo cool!, its like a power rangers/mad max/judge dread 80s wet dream, i love how it looks!

its called a Honda Beat fc50

Motobi 75 "Picnic"

Imagine if a Vespa and a Honda Cub had a child together.

Three speed hand shift with the gearbox on the left side.
An air-cooled 2V four-stroke on the right side, cylinder facing aft.
A driveshaft through the swingarm connecting the two.

Glovebox in the bodywork on the left side, just like a Vespa.

Had one and lost it. It was decrepit and incomplete, but definitely one of the more interesting scooter powertrain layouts I've ever seen.

874

Funky is a matter of interpretation. Maybe the Yamaha vino? The Riva, ala Larry Crown? The Aprilia Mojito is strange too. R

Not particularly obscure, but I kinda like the Yamaha C3... to the point that early on in my planning to buy a scooter, I had it penciled in by name on my budget for the year, and was trying to decide on a color. Its self-assured lack of style was part of it, though the 10ft³ pet carrier was the main attraction. (Then I saw that the Buddy had a 12V outlet for charging my iPhone, and the rest is history.)

Those all rock!

The C3 and any of the square Elite/Helix models are my fav.

I wouldn't call it a favorite, but I always thought the Yamaha Morphous was something that Batman would drive

Not sure how funky it is, but the Riva 180/200. Larry Crowne's scoot.
