Hello, fellow Vancouverite. If $$ is a consideration, the trick is to buy used, or buy *NOW* in the dead of winter. There is no shortage of incredible deals on...
Go to the Yamaha site they got side by side comparisons for newer and older models ... From: tmasha Date: 11/30/07 22:25:33 To: Vino125@yahoogroups.com ...
If you go to the Provoscooter forums you'll find some Vino 125 owners that have installed the kit. From having read their comments I'm not sure it's worth the...
If I was looking for a jump in power definitely move up to a bigger displacement. My riding scooterist buddy moved up from a Vino 125 after 4 months of...
Moving up from a Vino to a Burgman is quite a jump though. IMO, that'd amount to a +2 size increase, whereas a jump to something in the 200 - 250cc range would...
Rick, On my take-a-way on the Burgman 400; an incredible smooth and powerful maxi-scooter. Great value for the money and can be very comfortable for touring...
Oh FV, I am not disputing the fact that the Burgman is a nice scooter, especially for touring / cruising. I was just saying that the jump from a Vino 125 to...

No problem Rick - from your response I did not take it as a dispute. ... I was adding to the larger bike forum and commenting from my own experiences on a...
I do feel the same.. my feelings: Maxi-scooter would be a sleight ride - sofa rocket, Vespa GT - A Vino scooter on steroids, and Touring Motorcycles - an...
Interesting how the post morphed from a question about cylinder kits into merits of maxi-scooters <grin>! For the record, I've ridden bikes for the last 20-odd...
There was a really cool, enclosed BMW scooter in downtown Paris a few weeks ago. I put a picture of it in the "photos" section under my SoCal Finches album. ...
There is no doubt that Wayne knows his stuff, and I'm glad that you got yourself a nice deal on some Vino upgrade parts. Please keep us posted about how the...
Seeing those BMW's in Europe was one of the things that got me into scootering in the first place. I really wanted one, but they weren't legally available in...
I put up a How To for changing out your clutch and torque springs on my site if anyone is interested. I was going to put it up on here as well but I had probs...
Lee, I was in France in 2002 and was smitten by the BMW scooter. Your picture had the same model that I was looking at. I like the style and quality...
I have a question regarding 2 small black rubber hoses (tubes) I noticed when I was changing my rollers this weekend. When I first took off the tranny cover I...
... known ... I feel the same... A few years ago I got rid of a top-heavy 750cc Honda Nighthawk and moved to a Honda 250cc Reflex. At first I liked the Reflex...

FV, Don't forget the other motorcycle variants - my favorite of course is the old school "standard" configuration like my Triumph ;) Totally different...
Tony, You bet..."The standard" motorbike...the universal do it all. Triumphs Bonneville/T100, Nortons, Honda CB350, 500, and fabulous Four CB750, and...
