[@agent863]

I really enjoy your vids. Very well put together. Look forward to more.

[@BikeMatters]

Thanks Joseph!

[@tapetescapue]

Vespa Sei Giorni 2020! 300 HPE engine most powerful ever on vespa, very comfortable and with ABS!

[@gooscooby5988]

Very cool...sold my Honda ST1300 as I just don’t need a bike that big anymore. Was wondering what to get that is practical, and easy to handle around time ....these are ideal🙏👍

[@thedartschannel2023]

Great channel keep the video coming lads this channel great reviews and road test this channel will be massive for bikers

[@BikeMatters]

Thank you very much for your kind words, we really appreciate it!

[@avmsami]

Love all of them

[@marcelocoelhodasilva8955]

It's good to see something doing the difference. Scooters rescueing the past in terms of design but with too much technology to please the new generation.

[@petersullivan3012]

Yep, Vesps GTS for me, made in Italy, most of the others are made in China and time will only tell how long they will last. The Lammy lookalikes are very nice but as I say, just not sure about the build quality. My GTS 250 is 14 years old now and has never missed a beat.

[@ShahidAli-xq8ew]

Vespa 300 GTS - L've owned mine now 5 yrs, still love it.

[@stigpiaggio3v775]

The pair of retro looking Kymco LIKE200i (163cc's) or the LIKE150i are great scooters - the LIKE200i is a high quality, near bullet proof scoot at @$2500.

[@muaythai1814]

I want an AJS Modena & royal alloy TG125 bellissimo!! Great video

[@BikeMatters]

Thank you They are 2 very nice scooters! Make sure to check out our full AJS Modena review!

[@thomaslemay8817]

Vespa had a hand shift gearbox for a very long time so the Cubs belongs on the list.

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Got to be the Honda Cub. My first bike aged 7 in 1972 riding around the local farmers fields.

[@buffalorevolver6473]

Yep we never realised the c on c50 and c90,s was for cub we grew up thinking it was for churner

[@steviemcmahon5000]

recently got the TG300, unreal machine, great handling and looks beaut, very impressed

[@BikeMatters]

Fantastic choice Stevie! Enjoy!

[@hphillips7425]

Interesting video it’s different to see stuff that is available in other countries. The only one I recognize is the Honda

[@weschairs]

Good compilation!

[@davidmiyamoto8928]

Can u possibly do a review on 2000 royalalloys. I recently purchased the royalalloy 150gt. Thankyouverymuch.

[@alex-E7WHU]

Owned a django 150 sport until just recently, really good bike, nippy and reliable. 👍

[@BikeMatters]

Glad to hear it!

[@inderect1]

Lambretta v200,I have one and they are fantastic.Some people talk about the look but if you think Vespas don’t look anything like the iconic sixties models and people still like them.

[@gordonm6108]

I have the v125 and I agree, it is so good. Yours will be even better with the ABS. Great bikes.

[@niallbyrne6474]

The Honda Super Cub looks hot followed by the Django, Modena & lambretta I'm hopeless when given to many choices

[@lorraine113]

I really like the 6 and the 7 beautiful

[@clanmac66]

Easy, the one I've just put a deposit down on. A GTS 300 Racing Sixties in Green!

[@BikeMatters]

Great news, let us know how you get on with it!

[@bushcraftgirl]

I got the Honda super cub, it's great

[@vishmeister4151]

I prefer the gts big body scooter for its safety with double disc abs, higher seat height for taller riders, road presence and the front apron does give knee protection from rain and wind.

[@lorddanielson2453]

If only it was easy to find anything like these in the United States!

[@bladeguru6358]

I just bought a 2020 Vespa 150 sprint ( Notte). Very quick and responsive. My only issue is the turn signals have to be canceled manually. ❤️

[@BikeMatters]

Enjoy!

[@jamieturnage4574]

i wish the cub would come in 50 cc too that would be real fun to ride

[@bednyibelarus]

I bought myself a scooter - Suzuki Verder. Best retro scooter!

[@KevinRodgersGB]

Travelled from Manchester UK to Biograd Croatia on a Vespa GTS250

[@BikeMatters]

Great to hear it!

[@MrSparklespring]

In my 'crazy days' I did a ride of 750 kilometers from Antwerp Belgium to Cluny France in one day on a Vespa PX 200 at top speed 110 km/h. Undestructable engines!

[@morningstarr.]

Sh** thats a long ride!

[@KevinRodgersGB]

@@morningstarr. Think it was around 5000 miles door to door. Took 5 days there and 5 days back with a weekend in Croatia. The little Vespa was great. Goes to show you don't need a BMW GS to tour :)

[@jonkino]

Can’t believe you not got the RA 300 GP in this list- should have been No.1

[@MoeZwo]

I own a scomadi and am super happy with it.

[@BikeMatters]

Glad to hear it, what model do you have?

[@MoeZwo]

BikeMatters I Ride the TL50 only (at least in Germany a special licence is required to ride a 125cc and technical inspection of the scooter comes on top). Nevertheless it’s totally fine in the city, functions flawless and looks fantastic.

[@antonioray9558]

Falta este estilo de scooter no Brasil, seria muito bem vindas.

[@gianluigiragonese]

Vespa 🛵 ... the Only One! 💖

[@randykaminski6214]

Thank you! Hoping to find a list like this for models available in the USA ,,??

[@BikeMatters]

Sorry we cater for UK markets so unaware of what you have available in the US.

[@davelait9710]

What about the Honda Zoomer/Ruckus???

[@uriels4097]

currently saving money to buy a Vespa Primavera

[@craigdaviesmagic]

Got myself a AJS Modena 125cc on a 18 plate, great scooter - just be mindful that some of the Chinese parts aren't up to much, but it's half the price than those in the Top 5 and it'll get you on 2 wheels!

[@wesrogerson185]

Hows it running now? Thinking of getting one. Thanks

[@adolfadolfvich3253]

My favorite ❤️🛵honda super cub! 😁 🎥 👍

[@nikitis13]

The Vespa Prima with a Malossi 190 or better still, Honda's new "Hunter" . If Honda could shove an air-cooled 200cc in there somehow, that would get me across the line.

[@brentlybaird4974]

Honda Hunter motorcycle

[@markgallistel9456]

I'd say Vespa 300 every time (even though I ride a Burgman 400), though if I was to veer off course I would choose the Royal Alloy (all metal body) 300.

[@BikeMatters]

They are great scooters!

[@techgeek3366]

Scomadi is the best of that lot - original lambretta looks, with modern British design - made by people who love scooters.

[@thefantasyreview8709]

@@andygreyriderGRN hey man, Thailand make some good stuff... both Harley, BMW and Harley all have parts made in Thailand and they are all good bikes (well... except for Harley :-) )

[@1960ARC]

Some really nice scooters. However as my primavera approaches 38,000 miles I'm looking to getting a new primavera, just can't beat. Shame you don't give BHP and if they have under seat storage.

[@BikeMatters]

Great to hear about your Primavera. We try to give a mix of specs but do have to limit so the video isn't too long.

[@celticboy1950]

The TG 300 for me.

[@jimbobaggans1564]

Me too.

[@jimbobaggans1564]

I have 3 scooters. 2 of them are Honda metropolitans and one Vespa gts 250. I would like to get the Royal Alloy 300 but no one seems to have them here in the U.S.

[@richarddegen6184]

because they are cheap chicom junk...

[@Northernlanes]

@@richarddegen6184 except they're not, they're better quality and more reliable with better performance than the Lambrettas they're based on

[@garryroberts5106]

@@richarddegen6184 sorry my friend but you clearly know very little about engineering ... the TG300 is a work of art .

[@colinmumford267]

Think vespa px would of been number 1 had they didn't stop producing due to only been 2 stroke last year, but at least vespa are number 1

[@driverrevird8366]

Cub is best of the best!

[@pathannawazrasulkhan2414]

Can we get the dealership of vespa GTS series in India

The Honda Super Cub is is so damn beautiful and electric too !

[@nikos-giorgos]

It's not electric, it's diesel.

[@footscorn]

Not diesel.

[@04poppop]

Honda Cub , Peugeot Django

[@sainta2667]

Vespa Primavera - Number 1 !

there is not weight of the vespa primavera ?

[@Vert671]

What about the kymco like 50i

[@ianarriola]

Kymco Like 150i ABS

[@fabricel2600]

Number one for me is Peugeot Django 125 with the most beautiful and original design, then the Vespa Gts, also beautiful and good quality Piaggio 4 stroke engine. Honda cub is the master but too expensive !!! Thanks.

[@rtrelectricmotorcycles]

Hello ! You could make a video about top 10 bmw k100 cafe racer ! Tks !!!

[@allanknight843]

The super cub is gorgeous

[@ramonaguirre4038]

Que alguien me diga por favor de Cuánto es el precio en dólares

[@scooterkev6978]

the lambretta v special exhaust complete is about £695...no kidding.

[@Marktemolator]

I’m vespa 50 Special possessor. Django by Peugeot is the real “vintage” scooter.

[@paulssounds7129]

I really like the new lambretta, it takes a pounding from lambretta lovers though

I love mine, it is my first bike though.

[@reccerat4446]

They do mate, buy a second hand Lambretta!

[@dayla8634]

@@reccerat4446 Those aren't new. I already have a PX. I live in japan and Lammys run around $10,000. I'm good. I did own a series II LI once. Never had it running though.

[@reccerat4446]

Dayla hi, wow that much for a Lammy? Over here you can pick them up between say 3 - 5k depending on work needed? Mind you my SX had a complete engine rebuild which was expensive! But then I had a LI as a young mod and have had one all my life. Have a VBB as well, probably a bit less than a Lammy, you just can’t beat the sound and smell of the old ones! Still it’s good that people are buying the newer stuff. Cheers.

[@keyceeandasiyachanelkeycee7987]

d best motor vespa

[@patrickchubey3127]

? No mention of the Awesome Possum Honda EV Cub? From what I've read it has a 100 km range and will fully charge in one hour. Unfortunately here in Communist Canada, we can't have it..... at least can't have it yet. Still waiting on news, there's a youtube video of the 2018 model and it's 2020 now so where the bloody flaming hell is it? I've got the money, it's already gaining interest in a savings account, I want two, for the missus and myself, I'd flippin' well buy them today, if only I could.

[@ianpurcell7266]

Vespa only,thank youm

[@Northernlanes]

the Primevera should be mid-list, RA GP Series should've been top dog, looks, performance and price, better looks than the TG, better all round than the lesser GT

[@safarijonas3490]

Honda cub 125, and vespa 150cc!

[@BikeMatters]

Great choices!

[@jhinjos1965]

Vespa 125 primavera.....it's the one

[@BikeMatters]

Glad you like it!

[@Robcatist]

Retro in looks only.

[@Bangandthedirtisgone]

Why can't Honda just make something that looks like a Vespa? That would be the perfect combination of real world practicality, reliability, affordability AND style. I love my PCX as a workhorse (Delivery Rider) but style wise I'd rather be riding on something that has the classic, timeless look. Also, I wish they'd make them for actual sized human beings! I thought my PCX was a little small till I sat on a Primavera! Are these things designed for children?!

[@davekuebler8782]

Vespa GTS 300 no doubt

You forgot the Forza Cspri LX 50

[@zoolook888]

I understand the need to modernise ...but if you are just after that real "retro style" ...manufacturers should continue to build the modern scooter chassis BUT just give it a more genuine/accurate retro skin ....Modern and reliable on the inside...but super cool on the outside!

[@ARIELNFL]

Vespa Primavera

[@murakabifigi6226]

LAMBRETTA N VESPA STILL THE BEST DESIGN

It`s not a true retro scooters. If you need a modern retro scooter - go find a Vespa PX. The most recently produced retro scooter. And, one of the best among them all. No plastic, no CVT, no fuel injection. Pure classic.

[@SahirMomin111]

Django.

[@Kevskiok]

Had quite a few scooters...vespa must be good....but not for me....wouldn't buy another one....and they don't have the traditional look anymore....Royal Alloy imo are the main/current retro scooter....the past was good with lammys and vespas...but it's not the 60s anymore....give modern 4 strokes a chance....they're the new 60s....its the next century so get on with it....the times have changed....modern scooters mean more than the scooters of old....get with it....the world has moved on!!!

The smaller the rolling wheels the less stabilizing force there is, an argument I've always had against scooters.

[@adamo7835]

My Lambretta does 90mph it corners and handles the road very well on 10" wheels. It's about the capability of the rider.

[@CrocodileJock]

@@adamo7835 I'd say your Lambretta also has a lower centre of gravity, which helps - not questioning your capability as a rider! I've ridden many scooters and motorcycles. Scooters are more fun :)
