Default Gas too expensive, get a Giggle!

A new fiddy is on the market. A fuel injected fiddy by Yamaha named the Giggle. It looks kinda ugly but is supposed to be a good little skoot! Whitehendrix, you need to see if you can stunt on one o deez!



[/align]The fantastic and unique-styled Yamaha Giggle has been given a thorough stamp of approval thanks to its official adoption by the Fiat Yamaha MotoGP team. The retro-sculpted 50cc fuel-injected four-stroke will carry the personnel of the factory squad around the circuits and paddocks of the 2008 MotoGP championship and no doubt the manageable engine (Yamaha’s only 50cc fuel-injected unit) and 33 litres of storage space will come in extremely useful, while the funky looks ensure that heads will be turned, and not only because of the individuals at the controls.

Indeed both riders have already customized their Giggle. “I like my brand new Giggle scooter I am using at the MotoGP paddock because it is different than the others, pretty different than all those I have seen and I have had in my life!” said Lorenzo, recent winner of the Portuguese Grand Prix. “It is very comfortable, the design is beautiful, the colors -above all the blue- are incredible and I love the customization with my “48“in gold and black.

I don't care if it was a liter-class drag bike that got 50mpg - I would not even sit on something called a "giggle".

I'll have to admit Srob, this is not something I would ride or even consider. But for people that like fanny packs, it would be perfect transportation.

50mpg? Hell with that. I get better than that on my Eliminator 125, and it looks like a motorcycle (albeit a small one)

Dude I get 60 and can ride off road and on, and it looks cool doing it. I bet if I wasn't riding wheelies all the time, I could even get 70. Or do you get better mileage riding wheelies? You know less rolling friction? Now I'm confused.[8D]

Wheelies are good for the soul. What it uses in gas just makes you feel better!
