Stella 4 Strokes in Manila!

vespinoy · Post by **vespinoy** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 1:27 am

just wanted to share that finally the Stella 4 Stroke has arrived in our neck of the woods. after months of waiting and delays they finally arrived last week. the first units are, hopefully, going to roll out of the showroom in a couple of weeks after all the papers are finished.

Hope to give updates as soon as we see them on the road.

All the best from Manila!

You get more colours! I would have bought the orange!

yup, there were 10 colors that were brought here. I was trying to find their names on the Genuine site but the site I think only had 5 or 6 of them.

Jealous of your color choices! I would have gone black I think... Very cool!

Genuine goes INTERNATIONAL! They broke with the Stella in Canada, now this!

It's interesting because LML used to have a presence in the Phil.

This is awesome. What shop are these in? Scooter Depot? (I've been talking to someone from there via Twitter.)

Nope this is from 2211 Works. They used to be the dealer of Piaggio, and now is the distributor of Genuine here in the Philippines. Scooter Depot is one of their dealers. The guy who runs it is a good friend too.

GREAT news for Genuine as they are Stellas instead of LML Stars. I hope to see more world domination for our boys in Chicago.

Are you from 2211 Works? I think my brother (who lives in Ayala Alabang and works mostly in Makati) knows the owner, or one of them. It really is a small world after all.

I keep saying that next time I visit I'm going to hit all the shops and find a way to go riding. I just haven't visited in too long!

Nope, just good friends with the owners. I practically am since I'm there almost every chance I get haha. I run Vespinoy.Com and MotorcyclePhilippines.Com.

I think I've met your brother na (David?). He's part of the MTB-Tri group since one of the owners also owns a shop for bikes, plus we all go MTBking also.

Let us know when you're dropping by. That'll be an excuse for a party, since we've practically run out of excuses. The VCOP (Vespa Club of the Philippines) is having their big party tonight so most of the scooter guys will be there. I hope to get some photos to post here if I don't get plastered too early haha.

I got the "orange" stella which is actually "dijon". More orange in certain light, yellow in another. I'd post pics but i'm still too stupid to figure out the hoops to jump thru (i'm a click and drag guy). I actually have pics of an extremely hot chick on it (which only benefits me at this point, i know).

Considerably hotter than that, thank goodness. Not a fan of that guy either. I think the funniest. He's ever been was the, "you csn do it",,guy in waterboy. Sad commentary on his career, for me then.

Cool I like it, but I'm betting you won't see that ad run in America. To PC here for that.

Post by **ericalm** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 6:02 pm

It's definitely provocative; I'll give it that.

I don't know if the Philippine scooter market/scene is booming, but I've been seeing and hearing a lot more about scooters there coming up in my Google alerts, social media feeds, etc. At the very least, it sounds "buzzy" right now.

Planning a trip for next year. I should go this year, but still recovering from recession woes. Anyway, hoping to get to ride while I'm there. Maybe I'll come for a rally. Do they hand out "furthest traveled" prizes like they do here?

Yup, that's my brother. It's definitely a small world, huh? Especially if you're Pinoy!

I need to go back to see these! .... and of course to see the family too

Seeing the motorcycles, tricycles and scooters over there when I visit inspired me to want one in LA.

The huge poster during the launch. Great event. Had rains in the afternoon but the evening was perfect.

vespinoy · Post by **vespinoy** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 5:40 am

a better look at the poster.

Uh... thanks, but I'll take the American model for Stella scooters. WAY hotter, and this girl looks like someone slipped her a fistful of roofies before the photo shoot

She ain't all there from the looks of it

Post by **ericalm** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 5:58 am

"Hot" is a pretty subjective thing.

I'm just glad that, once revealed, she's not one of my cousins.

vespinoy · Post by **vespinoy** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 7:08 am

eric hahaha.

fun night for everyone. 1 stella was raffled at the end of the night, I didn't win it, of course...ack!

gonna schedule my time for the demo unit for a review I'll do on my site, hope the weather clears up so I can ride it out of town.
