Thought I'd post a picture of my new scooter, a Yamaha Giggle (called Yamaha C3 in the US). It's a 2008 but has not been used at all, just been sitting in a garage since it left the store in late 2008. The oddo had 1.2km(!) on it when I bought it, and I paid 14 000kr for it. A new one (2011 model) goes for about 22 000kr around here so it was quite a bargain ;D The only thing I have done with it so far is to replace the variator to get rid of the restrictions, and replaced the rear shock with a stiffer one. This thing has amazing power for a 49cc, it tops out at just above 40mph and climbs hills like no other 49cc I have driven before. Supposedly the engine has very high compression, and since it is watercooled it can be run with tighter tolerances. The 3-valve head construction also helps. I get around 100-110mpg in city riding, certainly nothing to complain about ;-)
