Yesterday, I was telling a friend about the Burgman. He wanted to know what made it a scooter.
"It's a step-through motorcycle," I said.
"What's that mean?"
"The gas tank's been moved under the seat; there's a gap there behind the handlebars." and I gestured with my hand, scooping out a "U."
"Oh. You've got a girl's bike!"
Cracked us both up. I never like the term "Maxiscooter." Sounds apologetic. Now I can say, "I've got a 650-cc "girl's bike" that's styled like a streamlined bathtub. It tops out at 110 and does 0-60 in 6.8."
(I wave, but I don't keep score.)
