I really don't care who makes it. I am not a brand name groupie (even though I've had more 'zukis than anything else...).
As long as it doesn't leak, has electronic ignition and fuel injection (i.e fool-proof / good cold weather driveability), a frame mounted engine, triple disk brakes, also, a good (relatively) backing / dealership network...i.e, KNOWN names...BMW, Honda, Harley etc... (I am not talking about these sort of wierd off-brand-"good"-price, buy-it-through-a-website type or one- every-800-mile-outlet type brands).
And And And...(picture a lack o love puppy here..
pet me pet me pet me!!.....) But ya know what? I'd want way more power at my disposal, AND, I'd want the option of automatic OR standard transmission. It's the scooter, step thru design that I like!
I guess that's asking too much huh? :twisted:
Heck, I don't much like the plastic personally. I prefer "normal" bikes with exposed frames that you can clamp stuff to. But if there were a builder that made a "step-through scooter" with a 400, 650, 850, or 1000 plus cc powerplant, and optional transmissions, without all of the zoot suit plastic, - with "scooter" ergonomics, I'd be all over it.
Am I just weird here (well that's a given... :wink
or is there anyone in our genre that wishes for, seeks, or thought about the same sort of thing?
