The Answers
- “Around 45MPG.”
- “It’s a twin cyclinder 650.”
- “15 front, 14 rear.”
- “Gear drive.”
- “No, Suzuki.”
- “Yes, it’s technically a scooter.”
Last year I got a lot of questions about my scooter, but they were of the easier variety, such as: “Wow, that’s pretty cool, how do you like it?”. This was pretty easy to answer: “I love it”. This year I’m suddenly getting more technical questions that I haven’t prepared for. Honestly I haven’t been terribly concerned with the details of it’s construction, only that it gets me from point A to point B reliably and that’s it’s a blast to drive. Not to mention it’s a little easier on my wallet than the Jeep with gas prices going through the roof.
So in Jeopardy form, the questions for the answers are:
- “What kind of mileage do you get with that?”
- “What’s in there, 2 cylinder? 4 cylinder?”
- “How big are the wheels?”
- “Is that chain drive? Shaft? Gear?”
- “Who makes that, Vespa?”
- “Thats pretty big. And it’s still considered a scooter?”
For additional details, check the specs (this is for the 2006 Suzuki Burgman 650. Mine is a 2003, but the differences are pretty minor).
