Sweet!!! My first ride was a Lambretta scooter...dad drove, mom rode pillion holding baby bro, and I stood on the boards! Through Buenos Aires traffic too!

Speaking of Aprilia scooters, seen this one?

Yes, the Mana. It works really well, but it's a CVT transmission motorcycle and not a scooter. Rides well, handles well and has enough oomph to make an excellent runabout.

One can say that I'm an Ape aficionado.

CHE FIGATA FALMAN!!! Molto Bene!!!

Alas, my roadracing days are way behind me (ran an RD400 in AFM back in the late 70s and early 80s), but I do appreciate an exotic macchina. I particularly dig the Tuono. Is the 125 yours as well? Sat on a MV Brutale the other day...fell in love with the view from the saddle.
 
The RS125 is indeed mine. She's still waiting for Ohlins shock with extra heavy spring to handle my fat butt.

I had the Brutale 910 for about six months. Definitely an exotica, but not something that I could live with. First of all, I prefer V-twin or V-configuration, secondly, I didn't feel that it was too particularly nimble, thirdly the fueling was terrible and there wasn't much to do about it. It's the definitive Italian supermodel: hot, sexy, sensual but you can't live with for too long.
