I've made my decision...
I am ordering my scooter this week from Vbike.com .Tim said the shippment sould be in Wednsday.My wife has had her scooter sense last july and I have had nothing to ride sense last September.I am more then ready for a machine of my own....I am buying a JCL-MP250A. It has a 257cc motor and best of all no shifting.
I am either getting orange,red or two tone black and silver.

Scooters are a blast.
I bought my wife a BWS50 a few years ago, and rode it everywhere. |

Great Choice, I just got a JCL MP250-A in stock last week in Black with Silver. It is a very nice bike, very smooth and super comfortable and a huge trunk. I've been selling the same bike with the honda clone 244cc motor for a while but they have A LOT more vibration. No major problems though. I like the fact that you can hook up your mp3 player to it's stereo system an jam out to your favorite tunes while cruising around. Good luck, let us know what you think when you get it.

I have read that the radio looses signal when riding its nice that it has the mp2 feature.How does that black and silver look in person?That color sure is growing on me.Do you have any pics of it?

You sure it wasnt my quad making you crazy for the new ride?
I still want one of those scooters too. I am jealous. I wish I still had the guts to ride street around here. :( That is a nice scooter. It brings back fond memories of my Aero 80. Congrats. :wink: |

You know the drill.Whats a man to do if he dosn't have something to ride and get a wrench out every once and a while.
I just couldn't stand the fact that spring is coming and I had nothing to ride.I have had some sort of motorcycle for several years but never a scooter.I really like the fact of no shifting.Just turn the throttle and go. Don't be jelous I give it a year at the most you'll have one. :wink:

knothead,I have been kinda looking at these for a little over a year.As a matter of fact I was torn between a scooter and the hi-bird when I purchased the bird last year.I don't regret buying the bird but I will never ride off road so the scooter will fit my needs much better.
The trucking company called me today,it will be deliverd tomarrow.I will post some pics as I can.I will start the pdi Saturday.It take me a few days to a week to get it done.
