I like the style of the Scarabeo 500 for cruising around the city. I like the Atlantic style scooters for a long ride in the country or a road trip. I have never rode either one, these are just my thoughts from looking at them and reading the specs. Good thing it will be a while before I can afford either one. Plenty of time to do more research.
(I'm not dead set on an Aprilia either. The Burgman and a couple Yamahas look nice, among others.)
Kevin, I've been meaning to ask you, what's the details on the $3,500 500?
No super scooter yet, just researching...
^^Scratch that! I have joined the Burgman club.
