I’d choose the pink one!
looks like something from the movie Akira
droooooool! you would have to coordinate your attire to go with your scooter at this point…
Wow……… I want….. ALL OF THEM!!!
Just gorgeous.
I wonder what kind of horsepower we’re talking about. The third one (green) looks like a Hayabusa is disguise. Scary.
I just LURVE the scooters here!

what a coincidence - my godchild goes to the kindergarten behind the pink one…

I would love any of these, but they wouldn’t last 5 minutes in London. some one would nick it the second you got off it
Dont’ think you’ll be filtering through traffic on these things. Scooters are goof enough as they are. Making then fatter and lower to the ground isn’t helping much.
Why are they so low?
Speed bumps and the many hills of Japan would destroy these machines on the road.
Why not use a real motor cycle?
A moped is for someone who is unable to afford a motor cycle.
Students, for example or someone who does not take pride in what they ride.
Some of the low riders have air suspension systems that let them adjust the height. BAd ass.

I would not mind one of them :D Compared to 50cc “beasts” kids ride on here.

i read soo many reviews and looks like no one really knows why its SOOO FREGGIN lowwww. Its because it has airbags that adjust the height so when you park the damn thing it sits on itself like a kick stand would hold up a bike. however not all them should be this way.

All those scooters are totally awesome! The one I like best is the Japanese airbrushed one selling on Yahoo! Auctions. I especially like how the entire seat is on the same level - like a couch. I really wish they had the Yamaha Maxam here in Taiwan…
