I picked up our Vimo 125 to complement my wifes Metropolitan. They both travel effortlessly through surburbia. The only necessity is to allow plenty of time while on errands to answer questions about the scooters from all of the people wielding too large automobiles in the course of their day.

I love this scooter! I would totally be asking you about it too.

Although it's not freeway legal and I really don't think you could comfortably fit 2 people on it, the Vino is great, with excellent gas mileage (~70mpg). I get ~2 people a week either asking about it or liking the style. Although I'm married, I can see it being a great ice breaker for the dating crowd!!!

This scooter is so European looking. Just got it today and I keep going out to the garage to look at it. I bought it for the styling and the enviro. factor.

I had been eyeing one of these for awhile now - but you now need separate licensing in Ontario to drive a scooter >_< living downtown I still can bicycle most places I need to get to or use public transit (right on subway line) - and can't get much better fuel economy then that... but itd be nice to have something to do a bit of groceries with and when biking isnt the best option.

I had a Scooter about 5 years ago, a Vespa. IT was a nightmare. They never could get it right, and I had to sell it as a big loss. But I am now in the situation of looking at getting another Scooter to get me around. This Vino 125 is one that I am looking over. The Italian scoots are nice, but I wonder about the reliability of them for everyday use. I guess its just the bad luck that I had with the Vespa that hits me the wrong way. I seem to like the price of the Vino 125 VS what you get. But I have looked over the service manual, and this scooter seems to like it could get expensive to keep serviced. But maybe they all are like that, I have no idea. But the Yamaha reliability should be worth the extra trouble of getting it serviced I suppose.

I am in love with my Vino 125. The 125cc size is enough for 50MPH, even with my large body on it, and 50MPH gets me around town easily with no issues. Since I've gotten my Vino, I've hardly used my car at all. Averaging around 75MPG and loving it.

Hey, check this out. When driving my Vino 125 at full throttle ( 55-60 mph ), I'm getting @ 72 mpg. I then experimented by keeping it between 45-50 mph for a whole tank , and saw my fuel efficiency jump to @ 93 mpg! This is a tremendous jump for just a little reduction in cruising speed. I am 6' 0", 190lbs. Oh, and for the record, I've touched 69mph once.

69mph on the flat?? If so that's impressive. As for the fuel consumption, it's not surprising since air resistance rises roughly with the cube of the speed. Reducing from 55 to 50 drops your air resistance by 25% ! If you slow down more than this, you also have to remember that engines are at their most efficient with the throttle wide open, so the gains are not as large as air resistance alone would lead you to think.

Waaaaaayyyy better than my 2005 vespa (NOT reliable!), which I sold in favor of this!

We love our Vino 125. It's reliable, it has a high top speed, although it takes a while to get up to top speed. It's also awesome looking with chrome!

I sold mine Vino for a large displacement scooter Vespa GTS 250 (best scooter made!) even though I did not want to sell it I would not be riding it as often as I am riding my Vespa..
