Pros: Easy to find. Easy to fix. Lot's of available parts. Cons: Not very stable. Kick start. Hand shifter.
Vespa's are making a comeback. If you ever need to go anywhere short distance. Or where parking is an issue. A scooter is the way to go. And if you want to go is semi style... get a Vespa. It has all the character and style a Honda Elite doesn't....
