Piaggio are saved!

What difference does that make, L0 or L1, they're all Burgman 400 sales.

It makes a huge difference as I have one of only 26 L1s Must be worth a fortune, so rare!

Better get it off the road then, in case you damage it.
Get a nice shiny indesructible super reliable ultra economical stylish continent-touring cheap Vespa PX to run around on instead.

P.S. Next year Suzuki will sell hundreds of L1s when people realise how much you get for your money compared to a BMW, Yamaha or Honda maxi-scoot.

P.P.S. I forgot it's already next year.

If I wanted that sort of scoot again Id buy the real deal, no way would I buy some Indian replica... its like buying a fake Rolex

Thats a bit harsh on LML scooters and their owners. Piaggio stopped making the PX about 4 years ago and only re started production because LML were selling so well especially in Italy as they were the only new metal bodied manal geared scooter available.
I believe the Latest LML Italia range is at least as good as the Vespa PX, is at least a grand cheaper, and also has a 2 year warranty.

As I stated in my original post LML scooters are not without their faults but a lot of the parts on the new PX such as the carb (Spaco) and suspension (Escort) are made in India & are exactly the same as on the LML Star.
Some replica "Vespas" such as the chinese made Neco Abruzzi are a pretty poor effort but LML actually made The Vespa PX in partnership with Piaggio and some were imported into Europe bearing Vespa badges.

To 99% of the public ( not scooter snobs) My LML looks like a Vespa, sounds like a Vespa, and smells like a Vespa although unlike a lot of LML owners I'v not been tempted to re badge it as a Vespa.

Also it attracts a lot more attention from passers by than any of my previous twist n goes although I also enjoy riding autos.

LOL, its all a bit of light hearted piss taking on here.... no real offence meant. Oh and the Burger 400 will be an L2 this year so my L1 will still be ultra rare and desirable

No offence taken Barry I guess Im a bit over sensitive when it comes to defending my humble scoot

Mind You I drove Skodas ( Bloody good cars ) for years so should be used to it

[barryG]

I too drive a Skoda

Cool I still hanker for the Fabia Vrs that I should have bought years ago but had some kind of mental breakdown and ended up with a Peugeot 206 hdi instead

[barryG]

I test drove a Fabia VRS back in 2005, I liked it and even did a deal over the phone for one. However, when I showed up the salesman said they had made a mistake with my px price and offered me £500 less. I tried the old trick of walking away, but no they wouldnt budge so I never bought one principles eh!

Then in 2009 I needed a bigger car than my smart and bought a Fabia estate which was great but not quite enough power and space after a couple of ears so now I drive a diesel Roomster, which is just brlliant. Id love a Superb estate but cant really afford that... so the Roomy will stay.

What you got then?

[martb4632]

Peugeot 206 1.4 HDI on a 58 plate. Boring as hell but I cant complain really as I'v owned it almost 3 years and not a things gone wrong with it.
I get at least 60mpg from it but I fancy something a bit more exciting now.

I had a Fabia 1.4 16v petrol before the Pug and a Fabia 1.2 12v before that one. In the past I'v had a couple of Rapids, 3 Favorits and a Felicia so I guess I'm a Skoda nut at heart but my new Girlfriend wanted a Pug and eventually i gave in.

The new Fabia VRS looks the dogs in metallic green and I bet it really shifts with 170 bhp but sadly its a bit out of my price range for now
