I have a Kymco Super 8 150, an Aprilia Sport City 250 and a couple of motorcycles.

Stopped by the local Piaggio dealer recently. I was looking at the BV350 and the sales lady asked me if I wanted to ride it. She didn't have to twist my arm. I took it for a short ride. It had plenty of power, handled well and was comfortable and roomy enough for me. I'm 6-2 with a 34" inseam. I wouldn't hesitate to ride it cross country. I'm not in the market for a new scooter right now but this thing is a definite possibility in a few years.

Hopefully by then that 350 will be in the new Sport City.

I`m guessing the 350 is a desirable scoot but, manufacturers are failing in one aspect.

They give us more HP, then turn around and take most of it away by adding more weight.

If they drop the 350 in the SportCity, hope they keep weight to a minimum.

I sat on the BV350 today and it seems very well done. Barney's of St Pete Florida is now also a Vespa and Piaggio dealer. Wish I could have talked them into a test drive.

What could I tell my wife that would convince her that I need to get the BV350 right away.

It will be safer in the rain you can tell just by looking at it.

Tom - I am glad your not talking directly with my wife as I try to convince her that I should get the bike now. You got to work with me on some kind of plausable sounding excuse. ;>
