ADAM WRITES; Of course, whose to say that Honda and Yamaha might not considering a price increase too? In order to maintain their overall profit margin on...
... In order to maintain their overall profit margin on reduced imports of Maxi scooters, a price increase may be considered in normal times. However,...

Fellow Maxi Lovers, There have been a variety of good discussions about pricing, the number of maxi-scooters on the dealer floor versus motorcycles, and...
Well said Robert! I, too, am among those who rode earlier in life with a long absence of 40 years of no riding. Maybe we are trying to prove something to...
... I'm glad for big scooters too, but if this is the dominant demographic, I'm very out of place. :-) I came to my MP3 250 for practical reasons. I don't...
I am envious of your Maxi Scooters as I am still in the Chinese 250cc class. There are some interesting things developing in that arena in regards to trikes...
-Hi Ken & Others Nothing wrong with having a 250cc or smaller scooter to ride.I remember in 1996 I bought a 50 cc Yamaha "Razz" for Fathers Day.I had so much...
Daren--- Looks like you and I may be one of the might few babies! I just turned 40 last a few months ago and tried to get on one of the rides last yet. BUT...
John, they tend to let up after the "Hazing" ritual :o) Steve ... turned 40 last a few months ago and tried to get on one of the rides last yet. BUT never got...
Great discussions lately on scootering, cycling, why one or the other (or like a friend, one of each). So I'm a just-turned-sixty mid-life semi-retired,...
Oops I pressed "send" before I completed my thoughts: I plan to buy used because I want to see if I like it, will probably go mostly on short runs, and don't...
THANKS! Last spring I upgraded to a Majesty, so I could run with the big guy or in this case, my wise elders! After yesterdays temps, I have major itch to get...

Hey, Lyn. Sounds like a scooter is a good sort of bike for you, but it's hard to talk about sizing until you talk about what you want to do. Are you looking...
Interesting demographic you have posted. I spend a lot of time reading this forum. I've gained more than I could ever return from a scooter knowledge stand...
Well . I guess I'm out of the demographics discussed here. J I've been riding 250cc+ "bikes with pass-through frames" for the past 8-9 years or so (gosh, has...
As some of you know, I run a marine fish store. The major players in aquariums are using the same methods of pricing and inventory reduction as Suzuki. The...
Mostly leisurely runs for a couple hours on county roads. Maybe also to the grocery store and work and short highway trips. From: Minn-Max@yahoogroups.com...
Ian you really nailed it with this explanation below. This is what keeps me feeling out of the majority sometimes with our group as Bob C suggested an older...
Lyn, My wife loves her Kymco GrandVista 250cc. Compared to my Burgman 400, it's quite lightweight and easy to maneuver at slow speeds. On the other hand, it...
Lyn - Don't know if you saw the previous messages, but a group of us plan to meet up at the Motorcycle Show on the 14th. We plan to meet near the Burgman in...
Lyn,  The type of riding you describe is exactly the reason I kept my Reflex 250. I had a Silverwing for one season, but after 3400 miles decided it was...

I strongly agree with Bill about the 250. While I've spent no time on a 400 sized scooter, I have spent many miles on machines larger and smaller. With just...
Scooter Crew, Looking forward to seeing many of your smiling faces at the Show. Last year, I had the Italian Caprice Mozzarella Salad for lunch, "Mama Mia it...
