300lbs. + Vespa 50cc scooter= not good.

a 'little' off topic, but i just thought i'd reply anyway
basically, it's a comparison of a motorbike and an F1 car.
the motorbike was a standard Yamaha R1 (1999).
It's acceleration times were:
0-30mph: 1.7 seconds
0-60mph: 3.2 seconds
0-100mph: 6.1 seconds
100-0mph: 5.5 seconds
The F1 car was a Jaguar R3 F1 car
It's acceleration times were:
0-30mph: 1.5 seconds
0-60mph: 2.71 seconds
0-100mph: 4.02 seconds
100-0mph: 1.68 seconds
when you consider the bike costs less than £10,000 and the car costs £1.6 million+, i'd say that was pretty impressive...
oh, i forgot to mention the bike did it's times in damp conditions too!

Quite an achievement for a vespa, don't you think??
Btw. now i'm getting all nostalgic over this period......
A full tank for 4 dollar...
No traffic jams...
Me and my girl on two(!
All the respect(read: total disbelieve...) people showed me for driving to work when it was 20 degrees below zero.......(45 min. drive....)
The wind in my hair......(about twenty fines for driving without helmet).....
It felt sooo free....(& geeky....)
But those days i was young......(duh...i drove that thing till i was 36(!!!!!

That may be, but if you weighed nearly 300 lbs. it would still be faster than walking...
