Mine is a 2004 with 21,000 miles. The only repair has been the exhaust system bolt and once I replaced that and insured I kept them tight, I've never had...
My 04 Vino continues to close in on 19K and continues to operate at speeds between 45-50mph...my opinion - mechanically optimum for the Vino 125. In the city...
... Just to add another data point: I am 6'2" and 270 these days, using mine for a daily commuter and I get about half the tire life of our lighter brothers,...
... Depends. A bike with 3000 miles on it will be a lot cheaper that one with 400 miles on it. It sounds to me like you're interested in saving money, but also...
I would add that a dropped bike isn't always a bad thing. So many times, I see scooters for sale where the seller says "Bought this for my wife, she road it...
Oh... Yamaha doesn't sell the crankshaft by itself anymore. Seems like I would have to buy the whole dang crank assembly. Just looking for the shaft with the...
I am looking for a used 650 sportsbike if anyone has one... I love my vino, but need something freeway legal an more acceleration for the streets of Los...
My bike was dropped once by a Toyota Corolla changing lanes unexpectedly. The insurance company totalled it. I drove it home and have put 9,000 miles on it...
I once talked to a guy about buying a used boat and I think it applies here. I bought my scoot used and saved a lot of money. When you buy used, you can't...
I would suggest that you look for a used Suzuki Burgman. My husband has the 650 and he LOVES it. Plenty of power for him and a rider, goes on the freeway...
Can't help you much w/ a bike for sale but I wanted to chime in that I went from a vino125 to a Buell Blast 500cc then a 79 KZ750 Twin in the last 2 years....
Well, the weather has finally cleared an I have taken the vino with the new YSS adjustable shock and rear wheel for an extended ride. I have to say the ride is...
Hello Vino 125ers, I'm still looking at used options as well as buying new... but am now wondering about the benefits, if any, of using a windshield. If I buy...
I have a Slipstreamer S06 Spitfire Windshield. It is fairly small and adds 5 mph to the top end and improves fuel economy by 10 mpg. It does keep some wind off...

http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Fairing.html This is a lengthy treatise on the differences. There is also a demo of the impact resistance of the two somewhere...
Actually, for some reason I believe that. I always think there's an extra "spring in the step" of my scoot after I fill up... weird though, I know. Chris...
Michael, I have the Yamaha OEM windshield on my Vino too. I highly recommend it for both added fuel economy as well as rider comfort. I bought mine used,...
Acrylic is is an older plastic. I don't like on a scooter because it will shatter in a collision and can leave a big sharp piece of plastic where your screen...
