I just bought an 08 yamaha vino today! I haven't gotten to drive it yet! I had no idea that so many people were driving these things all around! I guess that makes sense because I had such a hard time getting one! I never even heard of one till I was at the dealer lookinng at some other scooters! How far did you go on this trip? I have to drive 42 miles round trip every day and I was concerned that it wouldn't be good for longer distances.

Shoot I know someone who did thousands of miles on a honda spree (50cc)....all depends on if you have gonads of steel....btw scootings cool, but scientology's not.....find out about the cult that Beck was born into.....and help get him out.....

When you own a little scooter, you soon learn alternative rounts to avoid the expressways. One way to do that is go to Google maps, put in your home address then the address of your destination and press the bicycle icon. Bicycle routes are all suitable for the Vino. Of course most interstates have the access roads on either side of the interstate and you can just follow those. Often they have very little traffic and you can make good time too. I even take my 50 cc on those roads with no problem

ビーノ125(Vino125)。可愛いスクーターです。

外観は可愛いですが、パワーは凄いんでしょうねえ。

@karmuppet The only problem I have found with this is that often a simple access road that parallels an interstate, goes by several different names in different communities, so the travel instructions appear much more complicated than they actually are. I can go from San Antonio to Austin for example by following the access road beside it, yet the name of that road changes many times. If I have a complicated route, I just charge my Tom Tom and take it along. My phone has GPS too.Happy scooting.

Ive got a heavyduty vinyl canoe bag which I could strap to 50 cc beast and use saddle bags for booze and go on a ride about. I need more vacation weeks to do all this stuff like canoe trips, road trips in the RV now scamping  lol

They just watched you get attacked?! What kind of society are we living in these days, eh?  I'd love to try "scamping" or go cross country. One couple did it from Vancouver, BC to Barrie, Ontario on a Yamaha C3!

I have a Yamaha 2007 Vino 125, no upgrades and I have almost 5,000 miles on it. Oh yeah, mostly road riding and did half of the Shenandoah National Park in VA and was trampled on by a doe and lived to tell the story. I had my helmet on thankfully, but 4 disks in neck messed up because of her attacking me. Oh, and note to the couple who watched as I was trampled by the doe and did nothing to help out, if you read this then*&)*(&()*holes. This was summer of 2007, thanks a lot, NOT!
