I bought mine from Mega Motor Madness a few years ago. People will stop dead, or nearly jump, and say, "That's a great looking bike!" There've been a few others who'd talk about fuel mileage and such but then start trailing off, then stop and then say, "You know... that's a good looking bike". Whoever designed this one sure earned some points for style. And I am impressed with the cost/quality ratio. It's an inexpensive bike and it shows in a few ways. Double-check many fasteners while breaking yours in. The electrical switches and connectors don't 'feel' like the sort of things you'd find on a Rolls-Royce. But that's to be expected. Plus, replacement parts are dirt cheap. If a small number of components were upgraded a bit, then this bike would be in striking distance of the big-name scooters which cost three times as much. This scooter is wider than many Chinese scooters. This is good if you ride in poor weather. But girls are often not as comfortable as the driver. Unless, perhaps, they are on the taller side. My wife thinks of this as a masculine bike. She can ride it. But she prefers not to. I would not hesitate at all to recommend this bike. It's reliable and it's a sheer pleasure to ride. I'm entirely pleased with mine. I hope it's still available when its time to upgrade
