Aprilia Scarabeo 250cc 2007 Scooter Motorcycle Ride Review

[meatspice]

Nice Italiano Scoot!

[kono287]

You rock big-time on that scooter, hats off to you dude, excellent!

[28norman]

Aprilia Scarabeo scooters are not made in China.

[brimoton]

Cool vid man. I used to bomb all these very roads back in the day. To be living over a thousand miles away and not have been there in years and then see this is just sooo sweet! Thanks. And if you take requests then maybe Latigo and Corral Cyn. too.

[micbergsma]

HAHAHA!!! love the beginning! bye bye cruiser!

[OnlineScooterGuide]

Was browsing and saw your video - looks cool

[johanngrahamjakob]

Haha! This should teach those fat bastards! (I bet they don't even know how to spell cruiser correctly.) Up the scoots. By the way, does anyone know where I can get Aprilia Scarabeo 250 spare parts shipped to Mexico? It's sort of difficult to get them around here.

[loveiswithus]

RESPECT scooter man!

[hanussen75]

WMG fuck you!

[blubeo]

Hey Peter, we all miss you at aprilia forum.

[rakuchina]

petersomewhere,

Just put the "original" sound or wind noises back to the video already.  It's crazy watching this great video in silent mode... WMG sux!

[goth601]

that v twin just got smoked.

[Nelsontim64]

Great video.I drove a Ford F-250 to work sold that monster and purchase a Honda 250 Reflex,crusing 70 on the frwy. also purchase a 1966 mustang and had a few thousand to spare.

[wisgliebau]

Just want to say great video! I'm a college student and as per the usual flow of things, I'm too tight on cash to drive cars around or even pay for automobile insurance these days (ah, I miss high school!) Just in the process of finalizing a purchase of a newer Chinese scooter to get into things. Your video is inspiring, and your Scarabeo (and the 500 ie upgrade, I'm sure) make me green with envy! Ciao!

[cosaro]

Oh dude please dont buy a chinese scooter. They are ALL terrible. Even the good brands. There all shite, I work at a place that fixes everything, and chinese are utter fucks to fix, and are made of cheese. PLEASE dont buy it.

[wisgliebau]

Haha, well... I heard enough about how bad things can be, but between the warranty and my dad being a full-time mechanic (He used to build motorcycles as well) I think I can handle driving one around for a few months. Actually used the purchase to build my credit which was nice, because it will help me financing an Italian scooter later. Hopefully all will work out. Thanks though! XD

[Watthiman]

NOT TRUE! There are many manufacturers of scooters in China. They range in quality, Some are excellent. Many imports models have been on the roads in Asia and Europe for years and have excellent reliability records. All bikes are not created equal but because of standardised Production techniques in the modern world, even the lesser bikes are pretty good. The days of Junk from China are over. You can spend $1500 and get a bike that compares to a $3500 Japanese bike in virtually every way.

[Watthiman]

Let me rephrase my last sentence. You could spend $1500 and get a bike that compares to a $3500 Japanese bike in MANY ways not every way. The Japanese bikes still build better bikes but you are going to pay double or triple the price. If it's worth it to you, go for it. It's like a buying a Chevy compared to a Toyota. Most people will pick a Toyota over a similarly priced Chevy but what if the Chevy was HALF or a THIRD the price. Ya might be willing to give up a little to save a LOT.

[cosaro]

I would very much doubt even the scooters they import into australia are of quality.

The dealer support for the Vmoto brand is RUBBISH.A large company called Team Moto in Brisbane spent $250k on the first shop and then a further $280k on the replacement shop, just 2 minutes down the road. The scooters kept comming back with issues much higher than a japanese scooter. Sue me if I say this but Chinese isnt ready for Australia.

[Hobbiekip]

Thats not true.

Are you some chinese bike seller?

[brickinthewall1337]

wow, when people use words like always, never, or talking about all or none of a certain type of thing or people, anyone idiot would know that the person saying it is wrong.

[brickinthewall1337]

it's like saying ALL fords are crappy. people who say that are dumbasses. then i point at my 1974 ford f250. and i pwned the next door neighbor's mustang gt (not a shelby) in a race. but 7mpg in my ford is a little too low, so i'm waiting for my moped to arrive.

[smutjunkie74]

Well done kids! Great riding skills and the music to the vid was awesome too

[dispositivoH]

Respect!! Nice video, nice road, good riders... wonderful scooter :)

[04scarabeo500]

You are a "twist" master! I would love to know the average speed in the curves and the straits. You make me want to "go and throw" my 500 this weekend. Much respect...

[petersomewhere]

thanks! i'm not sure of the speeds i'll have to use my gps as a data log one day. i just upgraded to a Scarabeo 500ie so look out for next video soon...

[04scarabeo500]

@petersomewhere great to have you back with music...missed it! Do you still have the 500?

[gioppysv]

bellissimo video.... dall'italia un grande grazie..

ciao ciao

[petersomewhere]

la ringrazio dalla California

[manoterror]

I love the Scarabeo, and you rode it really well. Great video!

[petersomewhere]

Obrigado

[ottocn]

Muito Bom!!!

[ottocn]

Especial para os amantes da velocidade sobre duas rodas. Excelente trilha sonora e imagens eletrizantes! Excelente!!!

[Benjammin71]

Whats the music at the start of Dry Canyon rd section?

And great riding by the way!

[petersomewhere]

the song is "sinnerman" by nina simone

[pjchmiel]

Great riding and nice music! That road is a little rough in spots, but very little traffic. Well done!

[EmSmith74]

What a great video, I am watching it again. It's amazing how much potential this scoot has, Aprilia have done an amazing job!

I would love to have heard more of the engine though, but the music is cool and suits the video.

I love my Scarabeo and ride it everywhere. Wish I could ride it like that, would definitely get kudos from the cruisers and sports bikes on the road!!

[inspyre5]

Nice video. You have inspired me to look into getting 06 Scarabeo 250.

[Bendc1970A1]

What is the actual top speed of the 250 on level road with no wind?

[petersomewhere]

level road, no head wind... around 70-75 mph max. the speedo will read 85mph but i'm pretty sure it's way off.

[tikadukic]

Nice ride
