  • This scooter is about as good as they get.

    Jan 27 '06
    Pros: Incredible fun. Fantastic SMILES per gallon.
    Cons: Gas tank is very small.

    Summary: We bought two silver Vino 125s right when they came out. They were $2,399 each plus a set-up and shipping so they were closer to $2,850 each plus tax out the door. One now has about 2,100 miles and the other 1,800 miles. They've proven totally reliable ...

    Jul 21 '08
    Pros: Highly recommend for in-town commutes, back county roads, doubt you will find better.

    Jun 07 '08
    Pros: Availability of used scooters, price, Yamaha dealer network, reasonable performance.

  • Best value for the money!

    Apr 28 '07
    Pros: Quality construction. Sound engine. Reliable so far. Great vintage looks and a great vintage price.
    Cons: The gas tank is a bit too small at 1.2 gallons.

    Summary: I have wanted a motor-scooter since I was vacationing in Bermuda a few years ago and rented a scooter for cruising around the island. Actually, the bug hit even earlier when about 5-6 years ago Vespa reintroduced their scooters to the States and i ...

  • Yamaha Vino 125, a great suburban scoot!

    Sep 07 '06
    Pros: Competitive price, good power for commuting, easy handling, comfortable, good quality, robust electricals
    Cons: Minor ergonomic blunders, small wheels, storage only so-so, limited range, problems with emergency braking

    Summary: I chose the Vino 125 because it was a great "intermediate" choice for me. I live in metro Atlanta, which has traffic like L.A., and suffers from a major case of urban-suburban sprawl. I live 22 miles from my work, and commute via surface streets ...

  • A LOT of Bang for the Buck

    Nov 02 '07
    Pros: Good looks, smooth running, nice price & plenty of under seat storage space.
    Cons: None that I can think of.

    Summary: I now have a little over 100 miles on my '08 Vino 125 purchased about 2 weeks ago and I couldn't be more pleased. It cruises nicely at 45-50 mph and will get up to 55 mph if needed. Gas mileage is an honest 60 - 70 mpg and while some have complained
