After waiting most of the day for the Barrington BMW dealer to do a yearly service, put on my new lights, etc., it became clear that they weren't going to get there. . .the loaner: a weeny BMW 600 sport scooter. I die in shame. . .
For anyone who might be remotely interested, it's like your first go-kart with a throttle; about as choppy, and with the same no-wheelbase hard hard ride. Yes it can go 50-60 mph but hit a bump? Remember what happened on your first go kart? You shot into the air. It was unsettling to be bounced 6 inches into the air. The engine sounds like Fran Drescher imitating a motor. The motor feels like it has half the kick of a 650gs
On the good side, no-body threw rocks at t. You can balance it on tip toes cuz of it has a low center of gravity (and a high center of levity).
Now I have to ride back there in a day or so. Find a paper bag to put over my helmet. . .
