Taaaaa-dahhhhh!I'm going to sell the Agility 125. After getting the exhaust fixed, of course.
Now, this isn't because I've had trouble with it, although I obviously have. It's a fine scooter for in-town, but I honestly don't think it's even a medium-range option, as the trip to the Tri-Cities area seems to prove. It performed well enough, but didn't maintain structural integrity.
So, it seems to me I have two in-town scooters. Do I need two in-town scooters? Well, not really, no. It's nice to have a backup ride, but without a garage, it seems rather silly to keep both.
When I bought the Agility, I had no clue that the Yamaha Vino 50 would ever make a fine commuter scoot, but it has. So, what I might need is an interstate-class scooter, 400cc+. I only say "might," 'cause I dunno how I feel about doing those speeds on two wheels. On the Agility, I got to 70 mph indicated, going down long hills, and it was pretty damned scary. I'm thinking that for me, rental cars may be a better option for the few times a year I wanna leave town. Cheaper all around, too. The car I rented on a moment's notice cost me $98/day, one-way... and that was with their full insurance package, unlimited mileage. Had I reserved a car with my Vandy discount, it'd no doubt be even cheaper.
So, I think the Agility and I will be parting ways, soon. Maybe this spring, since the "want it" factor will go up.

good luck. i'm thinking i am going to bite the bullet and get a blur. maybe i'll see you around, my sister lives and works in east nashville and i frequent there alot, if nothing but for the food :-)))
ReplyDeletefs8gbe -- Ah, so you live nearby? If so, I can whole-heartedly recommend East Side Scooters as the Genuine dealer of choice. He had a Blur, last time I looked. :) And James really did go the extra mile to help get my initial problems with the Agility fixed. His wife e-mailed today, apologizing for selling me a "lemon," but I told her I didn't see it that way, at all. I just pushed that thang to its very outer limits, and as a result, I have another very minor issue to fix. Hell, if the exhaust gasket is okay, I can put a new bolt in there w/Lok-Tite on it! I just didn't have time to both deal with that, AND ride back on Monday, so I've adjusted the game plan.

Vino Jones just doesnt have the same ring to it....
ReplyDeletei live in atlanta actually. but there is a local dealer here with genuine products. my only fear with the blur is i have heard the accessory and parts line is almost missing.
ReplyDeleteat any rate, good luck, and thanks for the enjoyable reading!
