My experience differs....for 40+ years, I was strictly a motorcycle rider. First dirt bikes, then when access to land became problem, street bikes. Beginning in '08 with an Aero 50, couple Sprees later, and Elite 80 now. Most "fun" had was on the Aero because it was jack-rabbit kwik and I clocked 6,000 miles in one year. The Sprees were both in fine condition and ran like new, but didn't give the same ride as the Aero. Now, the Elite does all the daily errands without fail, and takes severe punishment every way I can give it. Keeps on ticking like a Timex, but again, the Aero is top pick for the fun factor. Then there's the whole other story....Gyro

I would have to agree with motormike on this one... The Aero will always be my first love when it comes to the "funnest" factor... :smile: (great word by the way; funnest... I never stopped using it since I was a kid) the aero is also the bestest looking!

Great post.... :coolcruise: j
