Any Yamaha Vino owners?
As the title states, anyone here own a Yamaha Vino?
Would like some input about what you like and dislike about it. Thanks.

Forget the Vino...
Get a Zuma instead...unless you need the storage...
50cc or 125cc?
If 50cc, have you thought about a Honda Ruckus?

I have one (2006 model). Where do you plan on riding it? Depending on how much you weigh. I weigh about 150lbs. It goes about 35-45 mph up hills. Steeper inclines would be about 30-35mph. Straight aways about 50-60 mph.
The only thing I don't like is I can't fit my Shark RSI helmet under the seat. It might fit other brands better, but my helmet has a pointed chin.
If your buying new, you might also consider a Genuine Buddy 125 or the new Zuma 125.
If you get one. Make sure you do two mods to the bike. Change out the rollers ($30) gives you better acceleration and disable the Accelerator Pump (Gives better mileage).

Just plan to ride it around town....fiance won't let me get a real motorcycle so I guess a scooter will do.
I was in Seattle last week and rode my soon to be brother in laws Vino and had lots of fun. He changed the rollers and also disabled the accelerator pump. Funny thing is that's what he told me to do first if I do buy one.
I rode around downtown Seattle for countless hours, filled up at a gas station and cost me a few bucks. What a deal!
Where did you get your vino?

Fred, you can still buy a real motorcycle. Just store it at your friends place like everyone else. She will not know.

I may need to borrow either Hungs or Johns garage.
