Must be doing one mile an hour. It's impossible for a 500cc scooter stock, to get 75 miles to the Gallon of fuel. James GregorSF says: I run my busines from the back of my Scarabeo 500. It’s a bit cumbersome in San Francisco, though you can park anywhere. Out of town there’s nowhere you can’t go. It was perfect on a trip through Big Sur (the Central California coast). At one point we joined a bunch of Harley’s. They didn’t mind us riding along since we effortlessly kept up. The Scarabeo 500 is definitely an automatic motorcycle, though I would prefer shifting. Never drove faster than 85MPH, about 75MPG. June 16th, 2005 at 12:48 pm How the %^&& can this guy get the mpg he quotes! Must be doing one mile an hour.

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 06:41:02 +0000 http://www.realtechnews.com/posts/1298#comment-17775 Honda did make an automatic motorcycle, the Hondamatic, in the late seventies, possibly into the eighties. The Cb750A and also a 500 or 550. If you scan ebay enough you can probably pick one up for under three grand. Used a hydraulic torque converter and a two speed transmission otherwise an ordinary Honda m/c. Victory cycles i.e. Polaris, has some thing similar in the works based on an 800cc snowmobile engine and belt type torque converter, though it's only a concept currently.

It's beautiful. I have a 1980 Honda C70, which is similar. It's a neat bike because it is 3-speed, plus neutral, and although you manual shift like a motorcycle, the clutch is an automatic centrifugal type. Just shift and twist. I think our bikes look about the same size too. I just wish they still sold the C70 here in the states... they sell it just about everywhere else: http://world.honda.com/news/2002/2021217.html And like a proud papa, here is a pic of my baby! http://www.flickr.com/photos/barron/13450591/in/set-253281/ I love the look of your Aprilia Scarabeo.

Nevermind the rain, that's what parkas are for. Paying roughly $2.50 for a full tank of premium can't be beat, and a quart of synthetic two-stroke oil runs about $8.00 and will last a month or two, depending on your riding habits. If you don't mind taking back roads, you can get anywhere on the little thing, and scooters in the 200cc range can easily make 60mph (not much faster, tho...) With the right modifications and a little hard cash, an older Vespa can make 70~80mph, although 10 inch wheels aren't particularly safe at that speed. Plus, you can't beat the retro styling.
