I am sorry you did not like the Vino 125. I bought one in Sep 04 and really like it. It rides smoothly - starts well - handles two people - looks nice - goes faster than I need - has plenty of space under the seat - has a great front disk brake - parts are cheap. I broke two lights on mine and got replacements cheap. Plenty of dealers. Reasonable price. I have 700 miles on mine since Sep - 8 months total. They have had brisk sales - so they must be doing something right. I hope you enjoy your news scooter. Would you tell us how much you got for it on a sale? How many miles did you put on it? I paid $2600 out the door for mine. I may trade up to a Vespa ET4 some day - but not because this one is bad - simply because I want the bling of a Vespa.
