Milage: 5000 - 10,000 miles
Likes: Lightweight, no maintenance, fun to ride
Dislikes: None
Review: “I bought my Vino used in Japan with 60 km on it from a girl on base and shipped it to this country via my household goods. It took two years to register it in WA state because the frame numbers were not the standard 17 digit VIN.
The scooter has been totally reliable. It gets 100mpg and has almost 11,000 km on it. Now I’m planning to upgrade the exhaust with an expansion chamber. As things wear out I’ll replace them with high performance items. To note: the Japanese version has little indents in the back panels and a front cowling that incorporates the Japanese signals. The Japanese version also has a funky back rack that follows the contour line of the back of the scooter. Mine came with a windscreen and basket behind the front shield. It’s been a great scooter and will probably be around a while longer if I’m careful.”
2002 YAMAHA VINO 50cc 2-STROKE
Milage: 5000 - 10,000 miles
Likes: Low center of gravity, reliable transportation
Dislikes: I don’t have any. I love this bike.
Review: “I have had this bike for three years. I saved it from a scrapyard. I have done some modifications to it - so far I have 6g racing rollers in variator (restriction washer removed), 64 to 72 main jet, performance air filter and Leo Vince performance exhaust. It runs 54 mph on flat ground with a 3.00x10 tire on the rear. This model is very easy to modify. If you find one, you got a gem.”
2005 YAMAHA VINO 50 2-STROKE
Milage: 1000 - 5000 miles
Likes: Fun - cheap to own and operate, great brakes and motor
Dislikes: Slow but still fun
Review: “Give me another one so we both can ride. I like it. Will sell soon to buy the 125 and with only 100 miles on a 2005 - I am confident of a fast sale.”

2007 YAMAHA VINO CLASSIC
Milage: 1000 - 5000 miles
Likes: The engine and its style!
Dislikes: Needs bigger floorboard and foot area for tall folks
Review: “I looked and looked for just the right scooter in the 50cc class. After blushing at the price of a Vespa, I went for the knock off. Many of the other scooters I looked at seemed to be really cheap until I met the Vino.
The Vino is perfect for those that want the retro style but not the Vespa price tag or the up tight Vespa dealers. Plus you can lay the Vino down a few times without any worries. Try that on the all metal Vespa!”
