Well, I don't actually have it.....but I want it. Sorry for the potato pic, it really doesn't do justice to just how beautiful this bike is, but behold, the Vespa 946! She's a sexy beast!

Those Italians know how to make some sexy machines.

My god that has some gorgeous lines. Kind of a perfect blend of modern and retro styling without looking "forced".

My only problem with it is the price. That one had some kind of special designer package that added $5k to the already over inflated Vespa price premium. It was $15k. Still though.....Beautiful.

Want =/= purchase. I shall admire from afar.

Same here. Maybe find a used one in the future. My wife barely tolerates my scooter hobby as is.

My problem is I actually don't care for scooters compared to motorcycles very much. This one is very beautiful though.

Some would surprise you. I have an Aprilia sr-50 Racing replica. I hesitate to call it a scooter just because of how damn fast and powerful it is. It is shocking if you are just expecting it to behave like a scooter.

My issue isn't power. I live in Ohio, my problem is wheel size in ratio to pothole size.

The wheels are pretty beefy on there. It shouldn't be too bad as long as you are paying attention.

You may want to go with a dirtbike instead.

A buddy of mine rides a dualsport for this reason.
