Modified scooters
I am amazed how fast it can become of you mod them to the max
And much power they develop from such a small engine

Nice. Doesn't make them look any less silly, though.

They do look a bit goofy, but I have to admit, after I won my Vespa (and immediately contemplated selling it), I found that it's excellent within-city transportation, and it gets around 75-80mpg, so it's pretty cheap to run.

And the fact that, in Finland at least, when the police catch you, you have to pay some fines and such, plus buy a years worth of motorcycle insurance, because they have so much power. Doesn't make doing that much of a good idea....

This combined with a 6 speed was wonderfull to drive, reached 85 km/h in about 8 sec, which on something like this, screaming like hell, seems very fast. Serious pocket racer!

A scooter should be used as a scooter.
