This is a very expensive machine that runs very strong and quiet. Powerful motor that will get up and go. AUTOMATIC transmission. Excellent tires. All controls are on handle bars. even both brakes. Nothing to do with your feet except hold it up when you are stopped. Very smooth and a joy to ride. Gets looks every where you go. All you have to do is twist throttle with your wrist and automatic transmission goes through the gears for you. The gauge cluster tells you the mph. out side temperature. rpm. how many miles between fill ups. etc. This is not one of those wimpy scooters that gets in the way of traffic. I personally have had it to 95 mph and it was still climbing as if just taking off. You can get on this and go any where you want right now. It also has a large storage under seat for 2 people's clothes and 2 helmets for those long outings. You won't be disappointed with this classy bike.
