Acceleration feels quite a bit faster than my Rally. No shifting also helps. I don't have the two scooters in the same place, so I can't do a back to back comparison at the moment.

Is that the Puig windshield? Looks good. I may have to opt for something like that. On the other hand, I've grown used to bikes without windshields.

I had thoughts of riding it between the mountains and the bay, but it wasn't a high priority since I have a motorcycle that can do that. I will mainly be using it around town while I'm down here...

At the risk of bring this thread back on topic, I plan to test ride the HD200 today. The more I think about my bike roadmap, the more I think it makes sense to get a lighter scooter. I can get a...

The People 300 leaves me cold. It's priced the same as the BV350. I'd rather have the BV. To me, the Taiwanese scooters should significantly undercut the Italians and Japanese.

Great pics!

Did you have to change the oil a few times on this trip? I thought the oil change interval on the HD200 is short, like around 1000 miles.

I never meant to imply that I don't like Harley's. I test rode the Dyna (the day before I road the Vision) as it's smaller and less intimidating than the touring HD's. I'll likely try it again. I...

I feel the same way about my F650GS twin. It's too appliance like. My Buell totally ruined it for me. I am thinking of selling the BMW and getting an older tube frame Buell.
