You see, my lurking at Modernvespa finally paid off. There was a thread where somebody listed all the troubles he's had with his Piaggio. Finally one of the Rabid defenders of Piaggio said this.
Well, I have 10k on my BV350 and have done nothing to it but scheduled service and a rear tire. I have owned 5 Piaggio scooters. I have never experienced anything but routine wear on any of them. Is it how the bike is cared for or is it luck? I suspect that those whose bike continues to run well believe that good treatment and conscientious maintenance did the trick, while those who have frustrating/expensive failures believe it is bad luck or poor Piaggio workmanship.
So let me paraphrase that last statement inserting my belief in why Chinese scooters fail
"I suspect that those whose bike continues to run well believe that good treatment and conscientious maintenance did the trick, while those who have frustrating/expensive failures believe it is bad luck or poor Chinese workmanship."
