Man, if that was knocked over . . . would not be pretty for the pocket book.

The scooter is the new but ridiculously named Kymco Many 50. I actually prefer it to the Sting 50 they're bringing to the US but which looks like a generic Chinese scoot with a front end design stolen from a Vespa ET and the Sento 50 which is just ugly.

Seriously, Kymco—8 50cc models in the US for 2010? That's just nuts.

Looks like someone went crazy with a Bead-Dazzler.

2.Remove scooter from the internet
3.1000 hrs of community service working at a scooter shop
4.Take classes in fashion
5.Have head examined
6.Make a public apology

um, not about this silly scooter, but this guy posts great videos. Always a bit tongue and cheek about riding (like, he'll say don't take your hands off the grips as he motioning dramatically at something with a helmet cam). He's hilarious.

What?! No nitrous, no turbo/supercharger? No titanium suspension, no ceramic composite brakes? No custom aluminum bodywork? What a jip...!

It better come with Lo-jack.

This is probably just some promotional thing to showcase the new model. Vespa has done this before with designer or artist versions.

Chances are, this thing will hardly ever be ridden and wind up in the Kymco HQ lobby.

I was working for The Limited when Victoria's Secret came out with their diamond encrusted $1,000,000 Miracle Bra. It was explained to the associates that it was a publicity campaign. It worked, I remember even the evening news talked about it.

I guess there are worse ways to try to get attention for your product.
