Or a scooter, ebike or trike.

Ambitious for Livewire although the price is shocking.

They may look Chinese but they're built in Mexico.

My late Wife said to me, after passing the MSF BRC, "I'm a much better driver after becoming a bike rider."

Another e motorcycle enters the game.

On a Royal Enfield no less.

Whenever my wife and I see a Royal Enfield in person we check it out. Great looking motorcycles. I would love to get one but we have zero dealers in our area, Such a shame. Triumph makes some nice looking bike as well and the last one I rode was a mid-2000's Speed Triple., but none of the Triumph motorcycles tug at my heart strings or my wallet like the R.E. bikes.

That lady went on a heck of an adventure! I hate leaving my state in a car! I have no more grand adventure in me. Wait, I take that back. I'd LOVE to do the Italian tour on a Vespa. My wife is Italian so she would like it as well.

I don't have the link but Keeway is coming to America. I like the Sixties 300 model. I hope we get a good local dealer!

Get you Passports ready.

Every time I go to the Keeway site they don't list a dealer anywhere in the USA. You would have thought QJ would have done that before taking Benelli away from SSR Motors.

Agree, the no dealer listing is weird. I might email them and ask whats up.

Emailed Keeway and asked about the lack of dealers on the website. I was told to go to KeewayAmerica.com and... same thing. Nothing. Only the distribution center in Texas shows up. I'll keep checking The website until I loose interest I guess. I'm really liking that Sixties 300.

I wanted a new Royal Alloy 300 until I saw how hard it was to remove the variator cover. I'll pass after seeing that nonsense! Plus the no native storage under the seat. I use my scooters for main transportation and I like having the perks that I'm used to. Under seat storage, true step-thru (no PCX or ADV hump in the step-thru), fully automatic (I'm lazy) and good selection of quality accessories (windscreen a must) and the option for a rear rack for a top box. Being nice looking helps as well.

My Buddy 125 comes very close to this want list. I would like a bit more power (don't we all) and the option to take my wife for a ride and not be cramped, though we rarely ride 2-up much anymore. I still love my Buddy and would keep it regardless.

Ironic that the cover is so hard but it tells you volumes about what Vespa owners tolerate since the RA 300 engine is a Vespa by China.

The one thing I like about the CF Moto Helix clone is the ease of maintenance. The lower plastic cover comes off and two bolts to take off the Variator cover, seat pops off with one bolt and there are the valve quicky adjuster bolts. Oil drain and filter easy access. If not for the stinky ten inch wheels I might be interested in finding a real Helix.

Until then I have the 168.9cc Tiyen and CF Moto 250 for milk and egg runs with storage and generous top boxes. The motorcycles are go anywhere, do light carrying and have intense Japanese reliability. Which doesn't mean I won't pursue a Kymco XTown or SYM Citicom one day.

A large Vespa rally in Europe.
