   you’re telling people to buy a real bike… like a hayabusa? fuck that, that’s a high-powered weed eater engine in a plastic frame.
   real bikes= harleys, triumphs, indians

   I work at a Harley dealership and ride a Vespa, so which idiotic “category” does that place me in? I like two wheeled transport, but, in general, prefer socializing with people from the scooter scene rather than the HOG scene. And I’m a Yank, who used to live in Britain, and I have a British license, passport, wife and kids, and used to be Sales Manager at a Vespa dealership. Can’t you people just like what you like and let others do the same? If you want to be an idiot, just drive a car!

   what you like is a personal opinion, but this is objective. it is a list of the top 10 MOTORCYCLES, not the top 10 two wheeled vehicles. the vespa is not a motorcycle, so it has no place on a “top 10 motorcycles” list.
   end of story

    motorcycle- “a two-wheeled (or, if equipped with a sidecar, three-wheeled) vehicle propelled by an internal-combustion engine and resembling a bicycle, but usually larger and heavier, and often having two saddles”
    by definition, a vespa is a scooter, not a motorcycle. thank you

    Nice vid,and i want to ad my bit to this stupid argument,so here goes.
    Scooters appeal to people for there ease of use,style,practicality etc.
    Bikes are for grebos,dirty loud machines are for rockers.
    My neighnbour has a Truimph Rocket,which he loves so much he uses it every Sunday for an hour.
    Why do bikers only use there bikes at weekends,then tell everyone how much of a biker they are??
    Also,Harleys are for knob jockeys with big mustaches,and small dicks.
    Cant wait for replies. LOL

    I am a real biker and have a Triumph Rocket which I ride for half an hour on Sunday if it’s sunny and the wind isn’t blowing in the wrong direction.
    I also have a Harley and I do have a small knob but I have 100 kg to push it in with.
    I disagree with the top ten motorcycles of all time because it is only my opinion that counts and everyone else should agree. If you don’t agree and want to make some thing of it please don’t because I will probably cry like a girl.

    A good taste of Milan art, but it sure could use some engine and wheel design to make it a highway sprinter…

    I love motorcycles, personally– commute on an old BSA every day of the week, and ride it on the weekends, too.

    I still love scooters, though– particularly Vespas. They’re beautiful machines, and as you said– practical and easy to use. What’s more, there’s a lot of machismo around motorcycles, but oddly it’s kind of upside down. If you’re riding an overpowered bike, you may just have a dick complex. If you’re on a scooter, you certainly do not.

    It’s another scooter that should be ridden to Aspen by Jim Carrey . “just when I think you couldn’t be any dumber , you do something like this , AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF “
