Chuck Montecillo did a review of the MadAss way back when he was still active in Tech&Tuner. Relatively underpowered and very softly damped... more of a village scooter than an actual BadAss driving machine.

I wouldn't say no to one...

But if I wanted a fashion statement, there's nothing quite like a Vespa... maybe when Yellow Cab starts selling some of their fleet units, I'll pick up a pair for me, my wife and my daughter to tootle around the local streets on.
