Anybody else seen these? Dang- that is one sweet looking scoot. If you thought the Venice had some bling, wait til you see the LX. Front disc brakes, aluminum wheels, larger tire size (3.5), leather two-seater, clear signal lenses, heavier plastics, heavier chrome mirrors, fuel gauge... The list goes on and on. I'd go as far as saying that there is no scooter anywhere near this price range that has this much to offer. The only problem I think is with the new Yamaha designed engine. It is too slow and supposedly maxes out at 35. The scooter place in SF is having the engines swapped to the 2006 TN'G, which is basically the same as the 2004. Everywhere else in the country they are probably keeping the yamaha engine because with the slower enginge you don't need a motorcycle license (a selling point, I guess), while you have to have a license here regardless.
