Yamaha Vino Classic Reviews from United States of America

Difficulty starting after blown over onto R side in a windstorm, but started fine after tilted back to L side, then righted again.

I love my scooter. She may not have much oomph, but boy is she fun to ride. I can get her up to about 43 mph on flat pavement, and 30 on an upgrade. She sips the gas (about 95 mpg), and handles very well on the back roads I ride to work.

I've had her for about two months and am very pleased. She was the last of two 2006 models the dealer had. In time, I may get an M class license and trade her in for a 125, but I don't see that happening in the near future.

The only major downside is other traffic. They tend to pass me even if I'm doing the speed limit (or better). I think they are just jealous. After all, I'm saving a heap on gas money.

I have had no problems with the machine.

I purchased this vehicle April of 2006. I have ridden it almost daily until recently. I have been averaging about 96 miles per gallon of gas. Temperature and wind seem to affect the mileage the most.

I really enjoy the handling of this scooter. I have had to lock the brakes twice. Once when a deer ran out in front of me and once when a car pulled out in front of me at an intersection. I was able to stop in time in both instances.

The only negative for the scooter is a lack of power. It slows noticeably on hills and into a strong wind. It also has slow acceleration from a stop.

I would buy another. It is great transportation around town. I would try the 125 cc to see if the acceleration from stops and slowing on hills would be corrected by the larger engine.

None.

This little scooter is perfect for beginners. I got it brand new from the dealer, nothing has gone wrong with it. It tops at about 40mph on a slight downhill, but 25mph uphill. Not a scooter that can take you flying, but it sure can get you through the most narrow alley in the city.
