I test-drove this scooter a couple of weeks ago...

Seems too provide the speed, range and quality at a price below $5000.
I did a test drive a couple of weeks ago.... only on the smaller 1953, though. I think that style-wise these scooters are beyond compare in this market. Handling is really smooth with a great acceleration in my opinion. Unfortunately, I can't afford one at the moment. Is there any cheaper option...
