I despise it and always pull in the clutch and coast across that part. The fat tires help, yet it still feels unstable.

So how fast can you get your Vespa to go Jar?

I had it up to 80 but it was winding out hard at that. Once I hit 55, you know it so I stay off the interstates. I am always on side roads and main roads with a 45mph speed limit. I did not get the right motorcycle. Too light and slow. lesson learned.

They don't let you test drive a lot of bikes....Depending on what you really want, 600cc's is plenty fast but might also be light..I am still a "sport touring" guy...Not quite ready for a couch...2013 Yamaha FJR. It's really a little big and heavy for me, but it is nice and pretty comfy.

I have friends and relatives that ride. Mostly Harleys. They ride now and then and wouldn't push the odds with a daily commute.

In my youth I had a Triumph. It was a 7 something. I got it up to where your vision leaves and hit a big fat bug in the middle of my forehead. I just knew that I was split open like a rotten cantaloupe.

I had some strange experiences on that bike. One involved me flying through a back yard, skirting an empty pool on the coping stone. I went through two tall hedges....it was a corner lot. That one tore me up some. The good Lord saved me and made sure that the Colorado Springs police dept took it from me.

It was kinda like a helicopter in that you had to work on it as much as you rode it. Any mechanical thing made in the United Kingdom is like that.
