I had the opportunity last night to drive a friend's motor scooter (an early-1980's Honda, forget which specific model). He only purchased it recently and he told me that the top speed is pretty much 40 km/h (low speed thrills /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) He told me about a local group of owners who have regular get togethers, apparently I just missed their big show/event recently, would have been kind of fun to attend.
I know these mopeds are getting to have quite a following in large urban centres, and used as a neat way to get around as well - my friend doesn't own a car yet so it's his primary transportation.
My friend Tom back in Ontario also has two older Vespa's in addition to his large collection of old rotting cars, and did own an old Jawa motor scooter from Czechoslovakia that he's sold now.
