Hey there! I just put my down payment on my new 2006 Vino 125. I got the nice blue one. I also have been shopping around for years, drooling over the different...

I have had my Vino 125 for just over two years, I am still very please on my choice and still performs beyond my expectations for a small scooter.. I was about...
I'm 55, so I guess I'd qualify as an older geezer. I've had my Vino 125 (2006) for a couple of months and really like it. Added a windshield last week, and...
Got my Permit today. Went down to Motoprimo and looked at the Vino up close. Damn it is really a nice scoot. They let me sit on it and I Really like it. I...
I think we have those stop lights in Texas also and the Vino does not trigger them. I think it is a motorcycle problem in general though, not just the lighter...
No problem here. I do know there are devices you can buy that zip-tie to the bottom of the Vino to help trip the lights. Hope that helps. rcrodrix Portland,...
Neal, If the Vino 125 fits you well and will deliver the performance you have in mind you won't be disappointed. I won't repeat arguments for or against the...
Forgot to post this follow up, but I opened the battery compartment and snapped a couple of pictures this past weekend. I uploaded them to my folder in the...
I haven't had any trouble tripping the lights, but if one ever seemed particularly slow, I use tip that my MSF instructor told us: Shut off the engine and...
To preserve the battery, I thought I'd try kickstarting this morning. So with the key ON and the rear brake engaged, I slowly pushed down on the kickstart...
I've been looking at www.newenough.com for a jacket and pants. My only problem is that my waist is 32 but my inseam is only 28. The shortest ones I've seen...
Raymond, Make sure the sidestand is up when you use the kickstarter. The safety interlock switch on the sidestand prevents the Vino from being started either...
Trip the Light? Fantastic! Don't trip the light and end up waiting for an SUV or a Minivan or Hummer to come and finally it will happen. I took a New Year's...
Hi Raymond, "Draggin Jeans" www.dragginjeans.com Look like regular Levis, are comfortable, easy to shorten, have internal kevlar, pockets for optional armor,...
Well this is a tip that I'm glad to hear about. I've only encountered it once here. I got stuck for 10 minutes before a break appeared at a busy busy...
Philosophizing just a bit more... Riding a Vino 125 or similar vehicle isn't very conventional here in the U.S., which some associate with being the...
For sale in Southern California. Very good condition. Clean. Extended warrenty still effective. I changed the oil at every 300 miles. Every 800 miles I dropped...
These are some very good observations and comments from a veteran rider. I appreciate them. To coin a term from the I.T.world: I'm a newbie (or a noob as the...
Yep, you see stuff on a scoot that you'll never see from a car. This Fall I rode through a toll booth on my scoot and stopped to toss in my 3 quarters. ...
Ian, Your story is a big part of the reason people who love being on two wheels call cars "cages." Of course, I do have a cage, but I'll always prefer to be...
There is also something else, very subtle, for me about the enjoyment of riding the Vino 125 in particular. It is what it CANNOT do that I find attractive. It...
Plotting the course! Gee, how I am becoming an expert at that. So I really identify with you, Richard. Toledo, Ohio, my town, is a city with a moderate...
Along these lines...You all are aware that MapQuest has an option to route to "Avoid highways". It's not always fool-proof, sometimes leaves in roads better ...
Absolutely. Been on roads I'd never go on in a car. Too much fun. But we're preaching to the choir here. How do we get everyone to buy a scoot and enjoy what...
