The weather this past week has been really nice. An unseasonably warm 70F during the day. I rode my SV650 each day. I felt like it was time to get another bike out, so I took my Kymco Super9 on Thursday.
I really enjoy riding the scooter. It’s a fun and easy twist and go. The Super9’s little 12” wheels makes it feel like you are going much faster than you actually are. “I was totally doing 60mph wide open…” “What?? I was only going 30mph?” lol. I also love that I can park it anywhere including bicycle racks. Yay mopeds!
It it also easy to stop and snap photos or gawk at the spring flowers. I snapped this one at a park I like to ride through in Roseville. The park is really nice on a bicycle because then you can actually use the bike trails.
It will be a little bit longer before I get my WR250R out. It needs a bit of work, and I’ve been spending most of my free time in the garden or the kitchen.
I was wondering if you used the scooter for commuting. It'll keep up with traffic on the highway? Or do you take a different route?
ReplyDeleteI use it for commuting and things when I want free parking. It is side streets only top speed is like 30
DeleteI bet unseasonally warm seems mighty nice after the winter you've had.
ReplyDeleteunseasonably warm is great after any winter!
DeleteThis last one was a bit mild compared to the previous, and I spent it in a car, so it was really easy.
Come on! A scooter is not a moped. Now you know better. Although I can't help but wonder, are are ATGATT even when traveling on the Super 9?
ReplyDeleteI suppose... a scooter can be a moped and a moped can be a scooter. My Super9 scooter is a moped. Yes, I usually wear my ATGATT when on the Super9 since the roadcrafter is just so darn easy to put on and off. I'm not going to skip the helmet, gloves, or boots, so that only leaves coat/pants. A couple times over the years, I have skipped the roadcrafter and worn a leather coat instead with jeans.
DeleteAh your right. The Super 9 is under 50cc and therefore a moped. I bow to the wisdom of the Master.
Deletelol. I am hardly a master at anything.
DeleteNow, that's style :^)
ReplyDeleteYep, easy to stop on gawk or take photos on the wee beasts.
Thanks Keith. I thought you'd enjoy that photo!
