Just picked up my 2006 Scarabeo 500 last week. Not having been on a bike in 15 years made me a bit nervous, but the heavy Scarabeo 500 is a pleasure to rideāfirm and responsive, and above all, FUN. I had six inquiries as I rode through town in the first week I owned it. Low speed sometimes feels a bit sluggish but having only 85 miles on it makes me believe the break in period and 600 mile check will come with a few tweaks.
