Ted - I saw a couple SR50 Rs in Europe. They seem a lot more peppy than the other scooters. The Aprilia graphics were hella cool looking. I'm curious though, do you live in The States? how will you register the SR50 R for road use? I think Cali has made all new 2-strokes pretty much illegal on the streets.
I found this forum that mentions the SR50 R, with a couple guys who have them in CT, but no mention if they've registered them.
