The Yamahahaha commentary:
Convenient, fun, affordable, and funky … the new "C Cubed " scooter
Scooters make sense. In today's busy world of spiraling fuel prices, limited parking spots and frustrating traffic jams, scooters simply make more sense than ever before. Discover what the Europeans have known for years. Scooters are a fun affordable way to travel around town. Bet you will have trouble wiping the smile from your face.
My take: $2000 handy around-town, uptown commuter. I'll be able to bounce between AGMs with ease during earnings season. Enough cargo space to carry 16 beer+. No cargo space to carry girlfriend. Zillion MPG. Easily tweaked for 4x power if I get bored. 130 watt generator for any add-on toys.
Laugh - go ahead laugh. I don't care. Scooters and fat chicks are both fun to ride no matter what you say...
