Beauty of Vespa Scooters
Vespa Scooter Longings
By David T Scott
One of the most enduring scenes in cinema is in the classic film Roman Holiday. The film starred the immortal and ever beautiful Audrey Hepburn (Oh how I love her!) and the talented Gregory Peck. Hepburn played a princess who was visiting Rome for a state visit. Tired of her strictly regimented life, she escaped the confines of her embassy, disguised herself as a commoner and began touring the streets of Rome. There she met Gregory Peck who played an American correspondent in Italy. The movie was basically a sight-seeing tour of the streets and Rome, but it is very memorable because they both toured the scenic spots in a Vespa scooter.
This singular scene catapulted the Vespa as a cultural icon. Though the movie was not really what you call a happy ending for they both did not end up with each other (oops sorry for ruining the plot to those who have not seen it), generations of girls dream of becoming Audrey Hepburn being swept away by their own Gregory Peck driving into the sunset in their very own Vespa.
Vespa scooters have their cult following. Like the Volkswagen or the Mini Cooper, Vespas are liked because of their unique (some consider cute as the more appropriate description) design. Vespa's design was derived from wasps hence the name. As a matter of fact, wasp if translated into Italian is called vespa. The Vespa was first made after world war two and since then its design saw little deviations. Scooters are perfect for the old narrow and cobbled Roman streets. It reflects the olden times when people are gentler, the days seemed slower and the air was full of romanticism. From those famed cobbled streets Vespa spread throughout the world. Perhaps because this little mode of transportation is perfect for weaving in and out in today's heavily congested roads or perhaps Italians are really talented designers of vehicles. (I am sure most of you will agree with me on this point. I have yet to meet somebody who finds the highly desirable and exotic Ferrari sports cars as ugly.)
Ever since I had seen a Vespa in Roman Holiday, I always wanted to buy one for myself. There were only two problems that presented themselves to me. First, there is no Vespa being sold in our region and second, even if there are Vespas in our island, I cannot afford one. The closest things that resemble a Vespa in our place are the delivery scooters of Yellow Cab Pizza. I even joked to my cousin that we should steal one, remove the delivery compartment at the back and repaint it with any color not yellow. I would even dream of accessorizing them with parts from scooter, but of course I know that all this will just be a dream to me. Maybe in my mind's eye, I see myself also driving a Vespa, sweeping my own Audrey Hepburn off her feet and we will both ride off into the sunset.

Vespa Scooters Rock!
Vespa Motor Scooters - One of the Best Scooters on the Market
By Rob Buenaventura
One of the oldest names in the scooter industry is the Vespa motor scooter. It has been manufactured since 1946 and has remained one of the most demanded scooters on the market until today. There are numerous models of Vespa motor scooters ranging in size from 50cc to 200cc.
While electric scooters come in two, three or four-wheel models the Vespa is all about the power. One of the scooters has a 200cc engine and is considered one of the fastest, most powerful Vespa scooters ever made. With a liquid cooled, four stroke, four valve engine, and its powerful engine has the ability to pass any kind of traffic it may encounter. With the larger, more powerful engine, the Vespa motor scooter is very quietly and emits extremely low levels of pollution.
On some scooters there is 12 inch wheel equipped with both front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. It comes with a good deal of storage space, where even two open faced helmets that can be stored under the seat plus a glove compartment when numerous extras can be stored. Many Vespa scooters are good for commuting, and while they aren't as powers as some other brands of Vespa, they are quite a gas saver and amazingly fun to drive. When you surround yourself with the Vespa motor scooter style, performance and safety, it is both fun and functional.
Vespa scooters have been recognized for their painted, pressed steel unibody from their original release. The unibody merges a complete cowling for the engine, enclosing the mechanism and hiding grease and dirt. In addition, there is a flat floorboard for foot protection, a prominent front fairing that gives wind protection and is considered a very stable unit. With all of that the Vespa motor scooter remains endearing as well as durable.
Globally successful, the Vespa motor scooter has enjoyed a noteworthy popularity and has become a symbol of stylish personal transportation. The United States scooter market has expanded immensely over the last few years due mainly to American consumer's reaction to gas price increases. They are looking at the scooter as a stylish alternative to higher prices automobiles and find the smaller size great for navigating city streets and suburban roads.
Once you get your scooter, you will bond and in a way inherit the personality traits of each other. You will ride with the freedom of a freewheeling, intrepid soul as your Vespa carries you on a wonderful adventure of speed and maneuverability. The wind in your hair, air rushing by your ears as you zip past curious onlookers - it will be a rid that feels like absolute freedom. You will zip effortlessly in and out of congested traffic.
One of the added bonuses comes in helping to reduce gas emissions and protect the environment. Vespa scooters that can achieve speeds between 40 mph and 100 mph get fuel economy as good as 70 mpg. As you whisk along at an incredible 60 miles per our, you will use a meager two and one half gallons of gasoline per 150 miles of road travel.

Top Five Motor Scooters
Top Five Scooters to Buy
By Gavin Vincent
When looking to buy a scooter most people search for the top scooters to buy. Here is a list of the top five scooters in the marketplace and reasons why they are top scooter brands.

Yamaha has been manufacturing scooters for some time so they know how to build a high quality scooter. Yamaha scooters come with a surprisingly price tag; the prices are surprisingly competitive.
Vespa Scooters
When looking at Vespa Scooters you need to ask yourself two questions: Does style matter? Is the Vespa name worth the money? You should also know that Vespa scooters give you more than just style and a name you also get a compact yet powerful engine and a sturdy steel frame. If price, style, power and durability is really what you're looking for in a scooter, Vespa is your choice.
Aprilia Scooters

Kymco Scooters

Tank Scooters: Are they Reliable?
Are Tank Scooters Reliable?
By Alexes Lebeau
According to the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), China is the largest scooter manufacturer in the world. They produce over 50% of the scooters in the world. With lower prices, it is really impossible to resist the temptation of settling for a scooter that is made in China. Unfortunately, many people have had their fair share of horror stories when it comes to buying China-made scooters.
Bad reputation online
Fortunately, the quality control of Chinese companies has improved. In fact, they have begun making scooters that can meet strict United States DOT and EPA standards. But, since there are a lot of Chinese manufacturers in the market, the quality of their products can still be unpredictable. Some reviews have commented that Tank scooters can now rival the scooters produced in Japan and Taiwan. In fact, some positive comments about Tank scooters can be found online. Of course, because a lot of complaints about Tank scooters have piled up online, it will take a long time before its reputation can be cleared up. As a matter of fact, there are still a lot of websites that discredit the reliability of Tank scooters online.
Pros and Cons of Getting a Tank Scooter
Tank has an impressive line of scooters. They have 50 cc scooters that can run at a speed 35 mph, 150 cc scooters that can reach 68 mph and 250 cc scooters that can go up to 78 mph. These scooters come in different colors. They even come in pink and yellow. Part supports for Tank scooters can easily be found.
Tank scooters are also very cheap. The Tank Urban Sporty can be purchased at a price of $1299. This scooter has a four-stroke 150 cc engine that has automatic, stepless transmissions. Even though there are a lot of negative comments about Tank scooters online, this bike is highly recommended for its power and reliability. It has a simple but solid structure that can be ridden by two passengers. It can also be used in the freeway. Built with a remote and alarm system, this scooter can be purchased at an amount of $1,299.
Even though the Tank Urban Sporty is one of the most well-known, low end gas scooters in the market, it is not perfect. Its fuel tank has a very low capacity, around 0.875 of a gallon. It also has a mileage of 90 miles per gallon. Even though people are allowed to ride it on the freeway, some people may feel uncomfortable when they ride this scooter. Because of its small wheels, it can give a person a feeling of instability while speeding along the highway.
Vague Instructions
Another disadvantage of Tank scooters is that the manuals are barely readable because the Chinese are not very fluent in English. For this reason, one must go online to find manuals that have already been corrected by native English speakers. In fact, a lot of text supports and instructional videos about Tank scooters can be found online.

Vespa Scooters are the Coolest
Why Are Vespa Scooters So Cool?
By Marek Kamella
Vespa scooters have been around for decades and yet there's something about them that still exudes style and elegance (which are words you wouldn't normally associate with a motorised scooter!) First built in the 1940's the Vespa scooter was designed as an alternative to the motorbike. With it's machinery and oily components hidden away by the rear engine casing it allowed a person to be able to ride a motorised bike without having to worry about oil stains on their clothing. Vespa scooters were first produced in Italy where style and elegance are qualities that every Italian aspires to. Vespa embodied this Italian spirit achieving a balance between machine and elegance.
The image of tanned and suited Italians riding around on their Vespa scooters with their Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses was irresistibly cool. Never one to miss a trend, Hollywood soon cottoned onto the idea of the visual impact the Vespa scooter possessed and before too long the Vespa found itself on the silver screen. Featuring in movies such as La Dolce Vita, An American in Paris, The Conversation, American Graffiti, Quadrophenia and many more the Vespa scooter quickly became something of a mechanical superstar. Perhaps the greatest endorsement Vespa can take is that many of the world's top celebrities have chosen to own a Vespa scooter in their PRIVATE life.
Celebrities such as Jay Kay (Jamiroquai), Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, Anthony Quinn, Henry Fonda, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro, Sarah Jessica Parker have all owned Vespa scooters. Mickey Rourke was even arrested on his Vespa for drink driving! Vespa scooters have become more and more popular in recent years due to the current trend for retro fashion but also scooters in general have become more popular due to their green credentials. Running costs for a scooter are a fraction of that of a motor car and in today's climate of high oil prices then it's never been a better time to buy a Vespa scooter.
My name is Mark and I run a website called http://www.scooterstoreuk.com which is a website devoted to Vespa scooters. If you're looking to buy a Vespa then please take a quick look at the website for more detailed information on the Vespa story and to browse through all the Vespa scooters we have on sale.
