Not unless I could get 20 for the price of 12.

This is as bad as the scoots sold at Pep Boys. Eh.

Scooter folly!

Hey, it's got a fuel capicity of 1.9 QUARTS! (Read it again, it's true... :lol: ) I mean, that might just get you around the corner to buy a newspaper and back. Although maybe not back... :roll:

Costco has a pretty good rep in my neck of the woods. Someone should tell them not to sell this rip-off crap!!

Really hate to see this. Costco is known to sell top notch stuff. People will buy this piece of garbage thinking it is a quality product, have problems, can't get parts, and sour on scooter ownership.

They should get into brokering top named-brand scooters like they do cars.

Holy cow.. Costco is back in the scooter business?
Remember when they sold the TNG Venice? TNG lost their shirt on that deal because of Costco's liberal return policy. Instead of having warranty work done, Costco was taking them back as returns.

The 1.9 quart capacity is funny..
So is this Warning for California Residents Regarding Proposition 65:
This product uses gasoline which contains, and when combusted emits, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm

That little Prop. 65 warning is on everything here in CA. If you have a laser printer in your office, you have to have this message posted. Pretty stupid.

yeah, that may be too in your face. i understand vespa's taking orders from dealers without mentioning another dealer opening within the district though.
