The Honda Ruckus is the other scooter they tested. You can see a Consumer Reports video here that gives an overview to all these scooters:<br/>http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/video-hub/video.htm?bcpid=1329233564&bclid=1118015109&bctid=8622043001<br/><br/>It's good except for the part where he states the obvious ("scooters don't come with air conditioning...") and the part where he says "but for the same price you can buy a motorcycle!" as if scooterists are simply wannabe motorcyclists who are drooling to 'upgrade' if they could only afford it. <br/><br/>To be fair, it seems like Honda and Yamaha treat scooters the same way....as a stepping stone to a 'real bike'. My hats off to companies like Vespa who actually understand that some people love scooters and aren't simply looking for a really cheap way to get around. I really love the Aprilia SR50...all that delicious technology in a 50cc. Nice find! The Honda Ruckus is the other scooter they tested.

It's good except for the part where he states the obvious ("scooters don't come with air conditioning…") and the part where he says "but for the same price you can buy a motorcycle!" as if scooterists are simply wannabe motorcyclists who are drooling to 'upgrade' if they could only afford it.
